Mirsky Racing Team continues form at Korea Match Cup Day 2

5:31 AM Fri 5 Jun 2009 GMT

A solid day on the water for Mirsky Racing Team sees them sit at 4-1 on day two of the Korea Match Cup.

In a comfortable eight knots of breeze MRT found their feet by taking three straight victories.

In an exciting race against K-Challenge/French Team, last years Korea Match Cup winners, MRT was on the end of a penalty in an intense prestart but sacrificed their advantage on the start line to equalise the penalties. K-Challenge narrowly lead around the course up until half way down the last run when MRT applied the pressure and forced an error on K-Challenge to pass in the final stages of the race.

Tomorrow MRT will race their remaining races in the round robin where the top eight will advance through to the quarter final stage of the competition.

A special thanks to Line7, Harken and the Royal Perth Yacht Club for their support.
