Korea Match Cup : WAKA Racing Report on Day 1

by Waka Racing media

Today was the first day here at the Korea Match Cup. We had 5 races today in a reasonably steady 5-8 knot breeze. With losses against Mirsky (AUS) Campbell-James (GBR) and Gilmore (AUS). Our two wins were against Richard (FRA) and Berntsson (SWE).

From the 5 races we received 7 penalties, definitely a new record for us! Three of them in the one race against Mirsky. We don't feel we have been pushing the boundaries any more than we have in the past but we will be sure to play it safe for our races tomorrow. The races are action packed so if you get the chance to get online and watch the live coverage it is certainly worth while.
