SSL Gold Cup 2023

10th November to 3rd December 2023, Canary Islands (ESP)

The SSL Gold Cup is designed to crown the best sailing nation of all! The SSL Gold Cup is a thrilling elimination series that leads to the supreme title. The final series will take place in the Canary Islands. The top 24 nations in the SSL Ranking and 16 nations from the qualification series will compete in the final series. This innovative format enhances the tradition of sailing competitions and aims to crown the top sailing nation at the end of a breathtaking and easy to understand single race Grand Final. The format was designed by the athletes in 2012 and tested at the inaugural SSL Finals in Nassau in 2013. Since then, it has been used every year at major SSL events and has become the definitive format thanks to improvements suggested by top athletes such as Ian Williams, Torben Grael and Robert Scheidt.
