The British team led by Olympian and former World Champion Lucy Macgregor continued their undefeated march through the round robin and quarter-finals at the 2012 Busan Cup and have earned the right to choose their Semi-Final opponent tomorrow. It will be a tough choice amongst the three other semi-finalists: Ekaterina Skudina (RUS), Claire Leroy (FRA), and Tamara Echegoyen (ESP).
The twelve teams again started their day with a brief postponement until the easterly 5-7 knot breeze established itself for the day. The forecast for tomorrow is for a whole new world - 15-25 knots from the south with big waves.
Racing continues through Sunday 28 October in the waters off Haeundae with activities planned on shore throughout the event. The next phase will be the semi-finals and 5th through 8th sail-offs. The semi-final winners will move on to the finals and the losers to the petit-finals.

1. Macgregor (GBR) : 11 wins - 0 losses
