Olympic sailing hopeful in the International Laser Full Rig Dinghy Cameron Pimentel is ready to compete in the International Sailing Federation’s [ISAF] Sailing World Cup in Miami, Florida, which begins on January 25th, 2015.
Pimentel said, “Miami is going to be very difficult, but I’m very pleased with the progress that my coach and I have accomplished over the past year.”
The ISAF Sailing World Cup is the first big sailing event of 2015, so sailors are expected to be in top form come January 24th. The event is the only North American regatta to be included in the ISAF 2014-15 Sailing World Cup series.
Competitors in the Olympic and Paralympic events will have five days of fleet racing from Monday, January 26th to Friday, January 30th. Medal Races across the ten Olympic events will bring the Regatta to a close on Saturday, January 31st, where medals will be awarded to the top three boats.
Event winners in each Olympic event from the ISAF Sailing World Cup Miami will qualify for the 2015 Grand Final, while the best placed ‘home continent’ sailor will also qualify. The Regatta is a 2015 Pan Am Games Nation Qualifier for the Laser, Radial, 49erFX and RS:X Men and Women.
