 Match Cup Sweden signified the half way stage of the 2009 World Match Racing Tour and, following the Swedish classic, the leader board has seen quite a change. The new leaders, having finishing second place in Marstrand, are the French Match Racing Team of Mathieu Richard. The 20 point gain has resulted in knocking Adam Minoprio’s (NZL) ETNZ/Black Match team off the top spot. Minoprio’s disappointing performance in Sweden meant that he didn’t add any points to his tally.

Gilmour makes it lucky seven with victory over Frenchman Mathieu Richard
 The arrival of a cold front over night brought clouds and cooler conditions for day 7 of Match Cup Sweden, the 5th stage of the World Match Racing Tour. The early southerly wind made things a little tricky for the Race Management team as they had to set up a shorter three lap course across the fijord. It was Peter Gilmour who dominated the day winning his semi final and then the final without dropping a match and casting aside the strong challenges from Damien Iehl and then Mathieu Richard.

Peter Gilmour did it again, for the seventh time he has won Match Cup Sweden. This time by winning with 3-0 against Mathieu Richard. Gilmour made a great start by catching the wind and going the right path. Then Gilmour went too short on his side, letting Richard take over the action and taking over the lead. Gilmour tried to pass Richard with no luck and Richard kept the distance with one boat length. In the last leg, Gilmour saw an opening and took it, forcing Richard to let him pass. Gilmour made a perfect spinnaker setting and went for the finish line. Richard then tried to gain on Gilmour and did sail faster but Gilmour had the shortest way. Gilmour, who’s been sailing well all week long, gave credit to his team and said:
- I’m 59 and thought to retire but now I think I’ll continue for 10 more years!
