BlackMatch Racing briefly reports on their win in the Marseilles International Match Racing regatta

Hello again from BlackMatch on the final day in France,

Today we managed to defeat Frenchman Damien Iehl 2-0 in the semi finals and then went on to defeat the defending champion Mathieu Richard in a hard fought final. It is great to win our first world tour event and a great way to start off our 2009 campaign.

A full report will follow tomorrow as we have a very early flight back to London but we would like to again thank our sponsors Fedex Express and Line 7. A big thank you to our yacht club the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron and also to Emirates Team New Zealand.
