Entries are now open and not subject to a qualification process for the 2019 edition of Hempel World Cup Series Genoa.

Correctly calling first shift is great. Plenty of sailing races have been won by the person or team who anticipates the first wobble in the breeze and positions correctly to best take advantage of it.

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.

The pin may have been the preferred end of the starting line for the 49erFX Medal Race, the first of Day 5 of the Hempel World Cup Series Miami, but in light air there's a lot of risk in starting in a pack.
