Issue date

Adam Minoprio and his crew were crowned the NZ Match Racing Champion for 2013. Photos here. 

Following a frustrating day, racing finally got underway at 3:30pm this afternoon. There was no time for Semi Finals and the RM team went straight to a First to TWO Points final series.

In the Majors Minoprio and Murdoch were on one point each meaning sudden death. Minoprio took the first match by 16 seconds but in the second Minoprio carried a penalty and couldn't clear it allowing Murdoch a win. In the third match Minoprio had a lead Murdoch couldn't catch.

In the Petite Finals Gunwoo Park carried a penalty in the start, however Dave Hazard hit the top mark on the second rounding. Park also won the second match meaning he is crowned third ahead of Hazard. Congratulations to all competitors!
