by Nic Douglass on 9 Jul 2016
Interview with the whole team, and the cheque - 2016 WMRT Match Cup Sweden Nic Douglass / www.AdventuresofaSailorGirl.com
Phil Robertson with Will Tiller, James Wierzerbowski and Stewart Dodson are the new World Match Racing Tour World Champions and winners of ONE MILLION DOLLARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Check out my interview with the whole team, and the cheque.

Apologies for the excessive noise, there was a bit of excitement from the masses who were watching on as the interviews were happening, which you may hear in the background - let's call it added atmosphere!!!

Absolutely incredible final against Taylor Canfield, first up in this video, who has been an absolute rock in the M32 class. Black flags, penalties, tight crosses and unbelievable action!

Congratulations to the Kiwis - time to buy all of Marstrand a drink! EPIC!
