Awesome Ainslie

Ben Ainslie has won the Finn Europeans at Scarlino, Italy after dominating the medal race.

The Artemis Transat started in light winds from Plymouth on Sunday.

More than 330 sailors in some 270 boats took part in the RYA Eric Twiname Championships at Rutland over the weekend.

At the ISAF Mid-Year Meeting in Qingdao, the ISAF Council voted not to reaffirm the selection of events for the 2012 Olympic Sailing Competition. After this they then needed to vote with a 2/3rds majority as to whether to change either the Men's or Women's events - neither target was reached so the selection will be unchanged. Discuss this on our forum.
