The Baltic Match Cup 2008 is run by the Match Race Center at the Nyländska Jaktklubben in Helsinki. Competition in this Grade Two event is in the club's J80 yachts.
Ten flights were sailed on day one (Friday) and the aim for Saturday was to sail the 12 remaining flights of the round robin.
However, light winds and some issues early in the day meant that we only got through 9 flights. This means that for tomorrow (Sunday) we have 3 flights left from the round robin. If there is time and wind, semifinals and finals will also be sailed.
The weather was rainy and cloudy today, the total opposite of yesterday when we had a nice steady breeze and sun. However, the day was good and many exciting matches took place on the water.
Results at the end of Day Two (skipper, number of wins, number of losses):
1. Jacopo PASINI (ITA): 9 - 2
2. Björn HANSEN (SWE): 8 - 3
3. Evan WALKER (AUS): 7 - 1, 3 matches remaining
4. Adam MINOPRIO (NZL): 6 - 2, 3 matches remaining
5. Pierre-Antoine MORVAN (FRA): 6 - 5
6. Michele PERRIS (MON): 5 - 6
7. Jon ERIKSSON (FIN): 4 - 4, 3 matches remaining
8. Rasmus VILTOFT (DEN): 4 - 4, 3 matches remaining
9. Lauri Kääpä (FIN): 3 - 8
10. Mati SEPP (EST): 2 - 6, 3 matches remaining
11. Antti LUHTA (FIN): 2 - 6, 3 matches remaining
12. Markus Hellström (FIN): 1 - 10
