McNay & Hughes win gold, Paige Railey wins the Laser medal race, and eight classes are halfway through athlete selection.
Olympic Qualifications Keep Miami Hot.
![Zach Railey, Beijing 2008 silver medalist, came out of Olympic sailing "retirement" at the Finn Gold Cup in October 2015. In a release from US Sailing Team Sperry, Railey said it has been a difficult but enjoyable task to get ready for the Olympic selection events. “I’ve been back in boat for five months, and am now back to the right weight for the boat. I’m training with friends and enjoying it. In the last two months I’ve improved a lot, and that should only continue over the next six weeks [until the second selection event in Barcelona, Spain].”](https://www.sailingworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/zach_railey.jpg?w=800)

Day 3: Under a black flag, the fleet got started in a building seabreeze. Zbogar (SLO) still leads, but only by one point over Jonathan Lobert (FRA) and by three points over Ed Wright (GBR). Day 1 & 2: Although there was no wind on Monday, Tuesday brought a fantastic seabreeze to the Finn Europeans in Warnemünde, Germany. Vasilij Zbogar (SLO) is the early leader, with Ivan Kljakovic Gaspic (CRO) and Andrew Murdoch (NZL) in second and third, respectively.
