Yesterday [Jan.4] the Bermudian team participated in Team Racing in light winds of 3 to 5 knots. In the first race Bermuda went up against Great Britain, and lost the 18 to 18 tiebreaker. In the second race they went up against Finland and lost 17 to 19 after leading most of the race.
Overall Coach Zizi was pleased with the effort and said it was some of the most exciting racing of the day as in most of the other races the teams ran away with easy victories. Today the Bermudian team will take part in a long distance race.
