NZ Match Race Championship

The New Zealand Match Race Championship starts on Thursday. America's Cup teams BMW Oracle and Team New Zealand have entered their No. 1 helmsman (Chris Dickson & Dean Barker) in the regatta. Let's hope we see a proper dust up between these two early on! Interestingly Gavin Brady is also in the entry list, flying a BMW Oracle flag.

Promising young Kiwi sailors and brothers Simon & Adam Minoprio have individual entries in the regatta. Adam recently won the Asian Match Racing Championship.
