Francisco Sail Grand Prix. Driver Giles Scott enjoyed three podium finishes – including two wins – in the first four fleet races of the weekend. Australia and Spain round out the top three, with 32 and 29 points, respectively.
France and New Zealand find themselves in the battle for third – but with work to do – heading into day two with 23 points each. Reflecting on a standout opening day, Scott said: “We had a really good day today, plenty going on out there, but we kept our noses clean and sailed well.”
Commenting on the course – a sailor’s favorite – Scott continued: “It was a day to push today, really nice flat water, almost all teams were pushing as hard as they could. Plenty going on and plenty of calls to make. It’s really nice to be on a bigger course for the first time in a while – stretch your legs, pick a few shifts.”
