Sailing has its own World Cup, finally! Like football in 1930 and rugby in 1987, the SSL Gold Cup is designed to crown the best sailing nation of all! The World Top 56 countries, selected on their SSL Nation ranking, will battle their way through to raise the coveted and only Sailing World Cup trophy.
Momentum is a precious commodity on a yacht, but is just as important in any regatta or sporting series. The national teams, especially those who have qualified from the 1/32 Finals, need to stay on a roll to continue their SSL Gold Cup adventures.
Just as in the football world cup, winning builds confidence and can lead to more success, and the penultimate day of the 1/16 Finals had the potential to make or break teams' fortunes. Here's how it played out…
We had a bit of everything on day 3 of the 1/16 Finals. Some huge wins in the first two races in the light winds, followed by an epic third race of the day for Fleet 1, where each boat-on-boat battle brought other teams into play, resulting in constant lead changes, and the Teva & Teiki Tahiti show continuing in the final race.
The scene is exquisitely set for Super Sunday in Gran Canaria!
