Day 1 Belongs to Oman Sail's Masirah
Day 1 of the iShares Cup at Cowes Week firmly belongs to Pete Cumming and the crew of Oman Sail Masirah - winning 5 out of the 6 races held today. Olympic Double Gold Medalist Shirley Robertson and her crew on Team iShares excelled at their ‘home’ event, benefiting from their local knowledge scoring their best result to date in the iShares Cup 2009 series and go into the second day of competition in second place on the leaderboard. French team Gitana Extreme - Groupe LCF Rothschild rallied in the second half to put them third overall just ahead of Loick Peyron on Oman Sail's Renaissance. Throughout the racing there was plenty of action – the 40-ft catamarans regularly flying a hull thanks to the sometimes gusty conditions, the crews screaming for water, daring to come as close to the shore as possible without hitting the rocks - all keeping the spectators enthralled at the iShares Cup Race Village which is currently proving to be the most popular place in Cowes.
