Alongside the Red Sea Film Festival at the Jeddah Yacht Club and Marina, today started the Women Match Racing World Championship!

Six teams competing with the three top ranked at the World Sailing ranking.

Marvelous conditions saw 8-14 knots growing constantly across the day from the NW, allowing a wonderful scenario with coloured sails seen from the coast.

Pauline Courtois and her team from France, 3 times Match Racing World Champion and 7 times Match Racing National Champion, are the winner of the first round robin with 5 wins over 5 possible.

Sailing is great in Jeddah! The smiling competitors' faces and global overall hosting warm welcome from the Saudi Sailing Federation and JYC Academy witness a great future for our sport in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
