ISAF Sailing World Cup Hyères
Hyères, France

The medals will be decided at ISAF Sailing World Cup Hyères on Saturday 26 April with the Medal Races featuring the top ten sailors across ten Olympic events.
Whilst the golden honours have already been picked up in the Finn and the Men's RS:X there's plenty still to play for with a good breeze forecast.

A ridge extending from Spain to eastern France at midnight UTC is expected to weaken throughout the day while a trough stretching from the gulf of Genoa to the gulf of Lion develops south-westward to north of the Balearic islands.

A light and variable morning breeze will stabilise at a westerly direction towards the latter part of the morning with 12-16 knots on the cards. As the day goes on it will fresh to 15-20 knots in the afternoon.

There was some exciting action on the race course on the penultimate day and the ISAF TV were there, check it out below.
