James Golden, from the USA has won the 2023 Finn Siver Cup at Gravedona on Lake Como in Italy. 

Again, after no races were possible on Friday, the final day, due to lack of wind, the series was settled from the six races already sailed.

Hosted by the Centro Vela Alto Lario (AVAL-CDC), the young sailors had a great week of training and racing even though two days were lost because of the wind conditions.

Golden was the clear winner with four race wins. Second placed Bence Racz and third placed Abel Szucs, both from Hungary won the other two races.

Hungary also took two medals in the U19 group, with Atilla Svastits taking gold from Sebastyen Bonifac with Italy's Claudio Sechi third.
