I am back on the rock! Great to be back at Marstrand, in time to catch up with the semi-finalists, 36 Below Racing (taking down Williams 3-0), US One (defeating Wallen 3-0), Redline Racing (coming back against Martinez 3-1) and Waka Racing (smashing Guichard 3-0), who will battle it out through to the finals, and onto the winner-takes-all million dollar prize tomorrow!

Seriously amazing!

Check out my interview with all of the semi finalists, and an in-depth chat with Steeley following 36 Below Racing defeating current and six-time World Champ Ian Williams 3-0 in his quarter.

By nationality we are looking at two Kiwis, an Aussie and a US team, all with a young base of sailors, testament to the up and coming sailors on the tour, and I can't wait to watch the blow by blow action tomorrow here in Marstrand! I will be sure to catch up with the million dollar winning team as soon as they hit the dock!!!

Time to go catch the sunset.... Oh hang on...
