There are only two certainties on the final day of the second event of the 2019 Hempel World Cup Series in Miami, USA and that’s that Hermann Tomasgaard (NOR) and Sam Meech (NZL) will walk away with gold and silver in the Laser.
A fight for bronze is on the Laser but in the Men’s and Women’s 470, Finn and the Laser Radial, the game is wide open with all the medals to be decided.
Saturday’s action saw the 49er, 49erFX, Nacra 17, Men’s RS:X and Women’s RS:X conclude racing. Watch the races back here.
The fleets fought it out in light wind and more of the same is forecast for the final day. A north west morning breeze will quickly shift to the south west and with clear blue skies and a beating sun, a sea breeze will develop. This is forecast to bring 6-10 knots on the racing area.
All today’s race will be broadcast live and available to watch on YouTube here – https://youtu.be/1utr_XXzeZY
