..........but not quite. Team Korea, a nearly all British crew, couldn't quite do it and came second in the ACWS Plymouth match racing leg, to the bookies favourite Team New Zealand. having won both quarter and semi final heats......they looked slightly exhausted. team New Zealand didn't have any races before hand. well that's the way the cookie crumbles and of course, the New Zealand skipper is more experienced.
Today was thrilling racing and around 25,000 lined Plymouth Sound again. It has been a fantastic week and we are all looking to the fleet race finale tomorrow. So, here for your enjoyment, are my best shots of the day.

Umpires boat and countdown clock to first race
match racing: two boats go head to head
whilst support crews and coach boats look on
burning 4000 calories in an afternoon's races
the fittest of the fit
jumping from one side to another constantly
all under the scrutiny of helicopters
Artemis showing a fast turn of speed
as helicopters get lower and lower to get those 'head on' shots
the ex navy seal umpires whizz about on upgraded jet ski's
Team china warming up for their match race
whilst getting some coaching encouragement
thousands watch on the big screen on the Hoe
Team Korea......almost but not quite....but wow, didn't they do well
at some starts boats are less than a metre apart
Tomorrow, shots and videos from this weekend and a selection of the odd shots I've taken over the week.
