Troia Portugal Match Cup Day Three from MRT


Mirsky Racing Team
Kinley Fowler reports on Troia Portugal Match Cup Day Three.

The laziest day so far saw the wind fill in late in the afternoon, and the race committee pushed hard to get through as many flights as possible in order to keep the full format. However only 4 flights were completed, and with 5 races left, the chance of holding the quarterfinals is slimming rapidly. We are sitting in 4th now after losing both matches today, and with one race left, things are getting tight to hold on to the top 4 spot.

We had two tough matches against Sebastian Col and Magnus Holmburg, and in the tricky tidal conditions, it wasn't easy to jump into it after the whole day off. However, we were sailing well and if it weren't for two unforced penalties upon entering we could have been singing a different tune. We are still very confident in our speed and tactics at this event, and all we need to do is keep sailing how we have been sailing and we will be able to post a good result. With 7 teams still in contention for the top 4 spots, tomorrow's racing is going to be tight.

A special thanks to Line7, Harken and the Royal Perth Yacht Club for their support.
