Sail-World.com : NZ Womens Match Racing Champs: Unbreakable Tie in Round Robin 1
NZ Womens Match Racing Champs: Unbreakable Tie in Round Robin 1
|
Proving just how close the racing is, Australian’s Nicky Souter and Katie Pellew (nee Spithill) plus Kiwi Stephanie Hazard are locked together at the end of Round Robin One on eight wins. The trio are so evenly matched that their eight point scores are unable to be broken, meaning they each beat all of the remaining teams.
The Race Committee for the LiveSport Telecom New Zealand Women’s Match Racing Championships, and ISAF Grade 3 event, had a flawless day on the water completing the five remaining flights of Round Robin One in the morning and two flights of Round Robin Two this afternoon. It was a fantastic day on the Waitemata Harbour with 6 – 12 knot southerly all day.
At the end of the days racing the two Australian skippers were able to break away by just one point over Hazard due to her loss to Pellew in Flight Two.
Next overall on 8 points is Samantha Osborne who again had a good day on the water, only losing to the top three skippers.
Finish sailor Silja Lehtinen is in fifth place overall with six wins followed closely by Kiwi’s Sara Winther and Danielle Bowater on four wins each.
Winther had a much better day winning four out of her first five matches this morning, which greatly improved her overall score of zero wins on day one.
Racing is scheduled to begin at 9.30am tomorrow (Saturday), with Flight Three of Round Robin Two.
