Mirsky Racing Team has qualified for the quarter finals of Match Cup Sweden.

In an important day of racing Mirsky Racing Team proved once more that they can stand up to the pressure, and finished third in the Group A round robin.

A cut throat format here in Marstrand, Sweden sees the top three teams from both Group A and B automatically qualify for the quarter finals, while the remaining eight teams go to a repechage round where only the top two will make it through – putting a lot of pressure on the teams to perform in each
race.

The final race of the Group A round robin saw MRT face Sebastien Col’s French Match Racing Team.

In a do or die race to decide who would automatically qualify for the quarter finals, MRT gained the advantage off the start line after an intense prestart which saw spinnakers set and a few close manoeuvres.

MRT held and extended their lead to comfortably defeat the French Match Racing Team and continue their current form on from the Portugal Match Cup.
