The 29-year-old and his Robertson Racing crew also banked US $33,000 for winning in Marstrand, Sweden. Phil Robertson and his Kiwi crew picked up sailing's richest prize after being crowned world match racing champions at the weekend. The final produced several twists and turns, with the Kiwi crew coming back from a one-point penalty to take out the regatta. As Canfield tacked, Robertson tried to sneak inside him but misjudged the turn with disastrous consequences, with the Kiwi crew clipping US One, puncturing a hole in the float. They were neck and neck going up the next upwind leg, as both crews wrestled their M32s through the tacks.
