Chance to see how the pro's get it done May 1, 2016 at Hyères, France.
Coverage starts 11:10 CEST (Central European Summer Time) which is 6 hours ahead of USA's Eastern time, 7 hours for Central and a whopping 9 hours ahead of Pacific Time.
The Nacra 17 class coverage starts at 13:10, which means 6:10am Central Time for me, so I probably won't be seeing this live.

The Nacra 17 Olympic class has some exciting development going on, the sailors are so good that they are nearly full foiling using basic curved "C" boards and standard rudders. The class is now in the process of petitioning World Sailing to change the Olympic class to top entry "Z" boards and L shaped rudders to allow sustained full foiling.
What is the Sailing World Cup?
The Sailing World Cup is a World-class, annual series of Olympic sailing for elite and professional sailors. It is open to the sailing classes chosen for the 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Sailing Competitions in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The series moves around the world to be as inclusive as possible to the top 40 boats in each class. Over 2,000 of the World's leading sailors, representing over 75 nations compete in the Sailing World Cup which offers a definitive guide to the best-of-the-best in the Olympic sailing world.
