We are through to the semi finals!!!Koo Racing Team - AC Law are in the Semi Finals!
Day 1,
Having not sailed together as a team before, there is some concern how we will work as a Team.
In fact we only got our first team photo on day 1 ! and we have been out of the match racing scene for 2 years now.
We only managed a match on day 1, where we go against putrajaya 5 O. They are a relatively a new team. Therefore we managed to win comfortable with them having a blag flag after they failed to do the second penalty immediately after the start.The black flag gave us lot of time to work on our boat handling,moves and team work, which we needed very badly.
Day 2.
We were quite confident at the end of the first day but we were put firmly back to the ground on the first match of day 2 against Team Navy 1. We lost the match, but I personally see it as wake up call for us. This is how they beat us to the line, pre start we gave them a penalty, then they started in front of us, a few tacking duels, we kinda screwed up one of the tack, they surge ahead.No spinnaker allowed, so it was basically a tight reach back to the mark, after that match we felt were very disappointed and very restricted of not
having a spin to fly.we went back to the drawing board, rectifying all our mistakes after the defeat and then bounced back immediately to win all the remaining matches in day 2 and joint top the leader board with Sail Putrajaya.
Day 3,We carried the momentum from day 2, continuing winning all our races convincingly and finish top of the round robin 1 leader board!
We will face Team Taring Pelangi in the Semifinal tomorrow!
