REPORT FROM DAY 2 AT SAILING WORLD CUP MIAMI

26 Jan 2017

Even sailors who have committed in advance to another campaign traditionally take some time away from the sport after the Olympic Games.

2017 Sailing World Cup Miami
ALL EVENT INFORMATION

The question is usually how much time is needed to refresh the batteries without getting too stale. Decades ago these hiatuses were usually measured in years. Now it's more likely to be weeks or months. For many in the 470 fleet, Miami marks their first major event after the Olumpics,as the Rio Olympians share the race track with the next generation of 470 teams eyeing up Tokyo 2020. 

Pangiotis Mantis and Pavlos Kagialis (GRE) finished second and then first in the day's Men's 470 races, and have moved into the lead. Mathias Schmid and Lukas Mähr (AUT) are in second, just a point behind.
 
In the Women's 470 fleet, three teams are bunched at the top of the leaderboard within one point of one another. Afrodite Zegers and Annaloes Van Veen (NED) are first with Bàrbara Cornudella Ravetllat and Sara López Ravetllat (ESP) tied on points with Sophie Weguelin and Eilidh McIntyre (GBR).
