Green Comm Racing’s Vasilij Zbogar feels positive after Day 1: 2011 America’s Cup World Series
Brand new participant of 2011 America’s Cup World Series, Green Comm Racing had a convincing sail at their end on the first day of Cascais Trophy, though they finished last in the overall standings
of the event.
Green Comm Racing’s helmsman, Vasilij Zbogar believes the sail was a positive start for them and they reckon it will be helpful in their future campaigns of the historical event.
The entire Green Comm Racing crew felt confident during the race. They sailed well during the middle of the race with third position overall behind Russell Coutts and Emirates Team New Zealand, but
a little problem in their wing's trim brought them a couple of places down. However, they still have a positive future ahead of them.
While speaking to the local media after the races, Zbogar said, “The overall feeling from today is very positive. We are a brand new team and this was just our third day of sailing on an AC45, our
first day of racing as well as our first day of rounding marks! It was also our very first day we sailed with other AC45's but overall I think it went very well”
