A lazy Fremantle doctor – the local seabreeze - again hampered Women’s Match Racing, delaying the start by three hours on Sunday.

Flight 62 saw some exciting racing with the matchup between the two Australian teams of Nicky Souter and Olivia Price.

A number of lead changes and some very close sailing had many fans in the grandstand, including Nicky Souter’s family, on the edge of their seats.

But it was Olivia Price’s AUS-2 team who managed to edge over the line first.

There was close racing all day as the round robin repechage stage continued, and with only four points between the top and bottom teams, there was plenty of opportunity for sailors to advance through to the quarterfinals.

At the end of Sunday’s racing, Price (AUS-2) was 7 wins and 3 losses, with Macgregor (GBR) on 6 wins and 1 loss, and Kjellberg (SWE-1) on 6 wins and 3 losses.

Racing begins on Monday 12 December at 1000 local time, with the last three repechage flights left over from Sunday, followed by the three remaining flights of the Gold seeding.
