We won the Silver medal at the 2012 ISAF Women's Match Racing World Championships today!! We advanced to the finals by defeating fellow American's Team Barkow 3-0, but went on to lose a tight series to overall Champions Team Audi Match Race, (FIN).

The day's racing started around 9am after a few delays to fix the boats. Our first series against Team Barkow was a tight series too. In total we ended up sailing four races in the series, but due to an incident in the second race, Team Barkow were deducted a point. So even though they won race three, the scoreline ended at 3-0.

After a very quick rotation into our finals' boat, racing got underway around 1:30. We had some very close races with the Finnish team, with lead changes on most legs, but ultimately they got the better of us and took the series 3-0.

You can checkout the overall scores at regatta website or on MatchRacingResults.
