Adam Minoprio and the BlackMatch - Emirates Team New Zealand team won the final of the Grade One Toyota Sopot Match Race in Poland, Sunday, against Eric Monnin from Switzerland. The scoreline was 3-1 to Minoprio, who was sailing with Dave Swete, Tom Powrie and Nick Blackman.
Conditions were variable on the final day of racing. Winds were mostly force 2, but with gusts of force 5. The mast of Minoprio's boat broke, so his team had to change boats for the final flight.
In the petit-final, Keith Swinton (Australia) overcame South African Ian Ainslie and crew from Team Shosholoza, 2-1.
