Team Monnin: Qualified for the QF and facing James Spithill

We had a very close first match agains Ian Williams. The key moments were at both top marks where Ian was leading on the left side but unable to cross in front of us coming starbord. At the second windward mark he tried to pass behind but touched the mark after that.
The second race against Jes Gram Hansen was much more difficult. We broke the tiller extention during the prestart. It was very difficult to steer the boat properly being inside the boat. We had a collision during this prestart which caused a small damage on the boat. We were able to keep the game close until the end but had no chance to do our penalty. Unfortunately we gont penalized for 0.5 points after that because of the collision, which was correct decision from a formal point but very hard for us considering that we had problems on our boat.
This little detail made that we face James Spithill today. We are happy with that as we never faced him until now. We hope do be able to show our best match racing skills and...who knows...?

At the moment heavy rain with thunderstorms are alternating with dry and moments without winds so we are in standby for getting out on the water...

Best regards

Team Monnin
