Argo Group Gold Cup, the seventh stage of the World Match Racing Tour, is currently underway at the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club, on Hamilton Harbor.
The Wave Muscat defeated Jesper Radich's team, Adrian Lee and Partners in a 3-0 white wash victory, putting them through to their first semi finals here in Bermuda.
The remaining Semi Finalists are yet to be decided, with Mathieu Richard and Francesco Bruni deadlocked on two wins each, with the pair going head to head in the morning. The Wave Muscat will be first to choose their opponent for the semi finals if Bruni wins his race tomorrow, but either way, The Wave Muscat are confident moving into the final stages of the Argo Group Gold Cup.
Radich was on form today, leading The Wave Muscat in two races, but with shifty conditions opening up passing lanes around the track, Mirsky was able to piece together the puzzle and regain control.
'It was tough today, with the wind blowing straight off the land, but the boys kept their wits about them and were able to just work their way back in front every time they fell behind' said Tudur Owen who is coaching The Wave Muscat this week. 'We haven't really reached our expectations this year, but with Williams out of the fight now, no matter what happens in the coming days, I think we will be looking alright for the Monsoon Cup.'
The action continues tomorrow morning, with a live broadcast of the racing starting at midday GMT-4 on the
