It’s the first day of Medal Races at Hempel World Cup Series Genoa with the honours to be decided in the 49er, 49erFX and Nacra 17 from 10:00 local time.
After a challenging week of breeze, Friday’s action saw 41 of 42 scheduled races completed, allowing the Race Committee to catch up on some races lost.
The scene is now set for the day’s three Medal Races.
Italy’s Carlotta Omari and Matilda Distefano will lead the home nations hopes as they take a narrow advantage into the 49erFX Medal Race. Australian brothers David and Lachy Gilmour have New Zealand’s hottest sailing properties, Peter Burling and Blair Tuke, hot on their heels in the 49er and the advantage will be with Ben Saxton and Nicola Boniface (GBR) in the Nacra 17.
As of 08:00 local time a very light northern breeze was present on the racing area.
The Men’s and Women’s 470, Laser, Laser Radial and Finn sailed three races each on Friday and will continue with final series racing on Saturday before Medal Races on Sunday.
