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.
Light winds bring emotions to the fore on yachts. Situations can change in an instant, and the whole scenario can be understood just from looking at a sailor's face.
Anyone who has sailed in very light winds can relate to the frustration of hitting a wave, or when your wind is taken by an opponent.
On Tuesday in Gran Canaria the expressions on the sailors' faces said it all after a very delayed start as a feeble breeze briefly awakened from its slumber.
Sadly no more racing was possible in the day, with what little breeze there was disappearing as the sun sank towards the horizon, so Fleets 2 and 3 remain on just one race complete. Will we have a windy Wednesday? Probably not, but a bit more than today would be nice.
