Melges 32 Worlds got underway with a bang on San Francisco Bay. The wind came on and the sun shone.

Three races later, a load of tired sailors made their way back to the St Francis Yacht Club, looking forward to three more great days of racing to determine who will be the third Melges World title holder.
