Solid start for Freshie Racing at Asian Match Racing Champs.

Freshie Racing Team has arrived in Kuala Terengganu Malaysia for the 2011 Asian Match Racing Championships. Today was the first day of racing for the event and breeze was stronger and more consistent than any day during event last year. The team was off for the first race which gave us some good time to analyse the course. Our first race was against Reuben Corbett (AON RACING). This was a close race until the bottom gate rounding where the team chose tactically to go to the opposite mark to Reuben’s team. Our team lost out but manage to get the ground back by the top mark narrowly missing out at the end. After our first race the team had some great close races (with quite a few penalty’s) with teams such as David Gilmours team and Singapore’s Maximilian Soh (Team Send It Sideways). At the end of race day 1 Freshie Racing Team is at the top of the leader board sharing it with Will Tiller (Full Metal Jacket Racing) both on 4 wins 1 loss each. Freshie Racing and Full Metal Jacket will race off tomorrow morning for the last race of the first round Robin with the winner becoming top of the first Round Robin. The Team is confident and is looking forward to see what tomorrow brings keep posted to see how we go tomorrow.
