The 2019 Finn Gold Cup, sailed from the Royal Brighton Yacht Club, in Melbourne, Australia has wrapped up just in time for everyone to head home for the holidays.

There have been long days with no wind and record-breaking 40C days with 15 knots. The event is being used as an Olympic Team selection event for multiple countries, including Canada.
