 This morning the wind was steady with 3 m/s and the sun was shining. The women started their first races in this year’s Match Cup Sweden.
The first match was between Lucy MacGregor and Nicky Souter. Souter got a good start but MacGregor answered and the race was very even with both sailors splitting the lead off and on. But in the end Souter took her first win ever in MCS.

Day Two of Match Cup Sweden, stage 5 of the World Match Racing Tour saw more beautiful weather, more spectators and of course more great match racing. Marstrand turned on the weather and entertainment for spectators and sailors alike. With interactive games, boat trips and numerous hospitality stands it was easy to get distracted from the on-water action. But one look out on to Marstrand Fijord and the calibre of world class sailors easily reminded you there is some top class sailing happening.

close with tight battles and probably the most exciting match so far in
