After a great hospitality evening in the Old City center and a dinner with teams and officials at a local restaurant, came another beautiful day of racing on the water over here in Jeddah!

Martina Carlsson, Svea Sahlin, Amanda Ljunggren, Hanna Gaskell-Brown and Hedvig Hedström, Beyond team from Sweden, were the protagonists of the biggest come back of the day.

Martina Carlsson commented: "Today was intense, we really pushed it BEYOND the limits! Great team spirits and good vibes payed off and resulted in four out of 5 wins. It was tough, but we managed to keep it simply all the way".

Still Pauline Courtois and her team after two round robins are heading ahead with 100% wins.

Tomorrow will see another big fight for the last round robin as the qualifications for semi-finals are not yet written in the stone.

Be ready for it!
