Quarter-Final Line-Up in French Grade One Match Racing, Brittany

by SailRaceWin

The quarter-final line-up in the Trophée Manu Minard, sailed off Pornichet, Brittany, matches Mirsky (AUS) against Littoz-Baritel (FRA), Minoprio (NZL) against Wibroe (DEN), Richard (FRA) against Ainslie (RSA), and Iehl (FRA) against Brenac (FRA).

Racing was delayed in the quarter-finals on Saturday by heavy rain and gusty 20-25 knot winds. Amelioration to 20-22 knots, with puffs, should see the competition underway in the best-of-five matches by midday (Central European Time).

At this event, Chief Umpire, Soren Krause (DEN), has, amongst others, local sailor and former French America's Cup helmsman, Marc Bouët on his umpiring team.
