43rd Trofeo S.A.R. Princesa Sofia MAPFRE - WMR Final
The last day of the women's match racing at the 43rd Trofeo S.A.R. Princesa Sofia MAPFRE saw some excellent racing in the Petit-Finals and the Finals. The Bay of Palma presented a perfect day - sun, wind and a few waves.
The first win in the Petit-Finals went to Olivia Price (AUS) as she lead all the way around the course. The second flight saw a penalty to Tamara Echegoyen (ESP) but she was able to clear it and still stay ahead to even the score 1 - 1. Price (AUS) lead around the course in the third flight to take the Bronze medal.
In the Finals, Anna Tunnicliffe (USA) took an early 2 - 0 lead over Claire Leroy (FRA). In the third flight, Leroy won the start and lead all of the way around the course to stay alive and force another match. In the fourth flight, the match was very close until the leeward mark where Leroy had a messy spinnaker drop and never recovered. Tunnicliffe sailed to victory and a 3 -1 score to win the Gold medal.
