The second event in an active season of match race sailing commences June 24th with the start of the GoPro Match Cup, where 13 teams from the US, Bermuda, British Virgin Islands, US Virgin Islands and Greece will battle for 2 consecutive two-day regattas. This 2-for-1 format, where 10 teams will compete in the A and B events, maximizes the opportunity for teams to earn ranking points towards the World Match Race Ranking list. Seven of the 13 teams will race in both regattas.
