Black Swan Racing latest update from Sweden.

The team has just completed two days of intensive training in Copenhagen on the DS 37 match racing yacht prior to the start of Stena Match Cup Sweden next week.

'It was really nice to get some quality practice in before Sweden. It is important to come out sailing at the highest possible level to give ourselves the best chance of qualify for the later rounds. We were lucky enough to train against Jasper Radich from Denmark who is a real veteran in the DS 37, so he certainly taught us a thing or two which will be valuable at the event. We are really excited now for the start of Match Cup Sweden.' Keith Swinton Black Swan Racing.

Our team for the event is Keith Swinton, Jasper Warren (trim), Laurie Jury (main/tactics), Jakob Gustafsson (pit) and Jonas Hviid Nielsen (bow).

Stena Match Cup will be sailed from the island of Marstrand north of the Swedish city of Gothenburg. This is one of the most beautiful sailing venues in the world and will host over 100,000 spectators during the event.
