Freshie Racing wins Trapani Match Race

In the second event of the teams European tour the Freshie Racing team finished on top in the Grade 3 Trapani Match Race 2010. After a hard fort round robin in beautiful conditions the team had a near perfect round robin with 8 wins and 1 loss. After losing the first race to Team Russsia, Peter Nicholas and his team of Travis Keay, Jay  Halligan and Daniel Miller regrouped to win 8 races straight.

The team faced tough opposition on day 2 defeating the New Zealand team skippered by Laurie Jury and the team from Great Brittan Robbie Allan, both ranked a lot higher than the Freshie Racing Team. The event was cut short due to time constraints with no semi’s or finals being raced which handed the victory to the team after a very consistent performance throughout the regatta.

The team would like to thank Royal Fresh Water Bay Yacht Club, Zhik, Ron Tough Yachting Foundation and Peter Chappell for their support.
