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.
Gran Canaria served up a stunner on Wednesday, with sunshine and a steady 9-12 knots of breeze. Absolutely perfect conditions for the teams to sail the powerful SSL 47 yachts to the maximum.
The second day of the 1/8 Finals was about consolidating leads for some and making up for poor first races for others.
Malaysia’s winning move in Fleet 1 saw them shoot up to second on the leaderboard, Lithuania and Portugal remain undefeated in Fleets 2 and 4, while Argentina and South Africa are looking strong in Fleets 1 and 3. It’s all set for an enthralling third day of the 1/8 Finals in Gran Canaria!
