Today the 3 remaining flights were sailed in the round robin for the ISAF match race Grade 2 Baltic Match Cup, held in J/80s from the Nyländska Jaktklubben (NJK) in Helsinki. Many exciting matches took place on the water. The wind was very shifty, but still the races went well.
After the round robin, Walker as winner of the RR chose Pasini as his opponent in the semifinals for the afternoon. The other semifinal pair was Hansen and Minoprio.
After 3 flights Hansen and Pasini met in the finals, with Hansen (Sweden) winning the event. Walker and Minoprio sailed against each other in the petit-final, with Minoprio gaining the upper hand.
