Olympics

Australia’s Matthew Belcher and Malcolm Page will be the pair to beat in the Men’s 470 at the London 2012 Olympic Sailing Competition having won three World Championship titles in a row.

Sixteen Stars will take to the Weymouth and Portland waters on 29 July to start their campaign for London 2012 Olympic glory. 

Robert Scheidt and Bruno Prada (BRA) and defending Olympic Champions Iain Percy and Andrew Simpson (GBR) head into the competition as the favourites, but with experience spread across the fleet, upsets can happen....

At midday on 29 July, 24 Finn boats will line up on the Nothe Course, thousands of spectators will look down, the starting gun will fire and the London 2012 Olympic Sailing Competition at Weymouth and Portland, Great Britain will be underway.

Andy has been competing at the Musto Skiff Worlds in Weymouth, a good opportunity for a recce of the Olympic venue before the Games begins.

Justin is now in Weymouth working for the official Olympic news service, and guess who was the very first sailor to drive in with their boat, the very moment the Olympic sailing venue opened????
