In this regatta however we unfortunately only managed 18 straight wins and not the magic 19 we needed to win the gold!

We're really pleased with how we're sailing, and with how we are still chipping away at improving our tactics, speed and boat handling. The forecast is for us to have a bit more wind tomorrow from our 10 knot average today and after a very close semi final that went to 5 matches, Tunnicliffe's team (USA) came out as our opponents for tomorrow.
