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.
The SSL GOLD CUP finals, the 1st “FOOTBALL WORLD CUP” in sailing will be held at the stunning Island of Gran Canaria from the 10th of November to the 3rd of December 2023 in collaboration with the Real Federación Canaria de Vela.
DAY 2
On day two of the SSL Gold Cup 1/32 Finals, Gran Canaria delivered another beautiful setting for world-class racing. Today it was all about teamwork, smooth sailing and eyes out of the boat looking for the best wind. Tactical yacht racing at its best.
The golden SSL47 yachts are all-action, with the crews having to work hard throughout all the manoeuvres, which is making for superb coverage in the daily livestreams on Youtube and Facebook.
For countries entering the competition at this stage it is rare to be able to sail as a national team on a big yacht, and is an opportunity they are embracing with open arms. The SSL Gold Cup is bold in its vision, and is helping increase sailing participation around the world.
