Yachting: Coutts to face Gilmour

The Swedish Match Tour's two most decorated yachting skippers will contest the final of the Monsoon Cup in Malaysia.

Australian Peter Gilmour is the career victories leader and two-time reigning champion of the Swedish Match Tour.

New Zealander Russell Coutts (Coutts Racing) has six career victories in 11 starts, the most in the fewest starts.

Head-to-head Coutts has beaten Gilmour in the last three championships they've raced, having an 8-4 advantage in the matches.

Said Gilmour: "I'm cognisant of that fact and it's something I need to overcome."
