Andrew and I have made our way to Weymouth England for the seventh and final event of the ISAF World Cup season. Weymouth is the site of the 2012 Olympic sailing events and the venue is well on its way to completion. The British National Sailing Center is complete and the athlete village has topped out construction, three years in advance of the games.The Star Class is stacked this week with the top six finishers from the Beijing, and 13 of the top 20 in the ISAF World Rankings; all here to vie for the overall title and study up on the Olympic venue. This amount of talent would be spectacular in any large fleet, but there are only 20 Star boats registered. This will be a very hotly contested regatta.
We race two races a day Monday through Friday with the medal race on Saturday. Follow along at http://www.sailracer.co.uk/events/18401/ and see our daily updates at http://www.campbellnichol2012.blogspot.com/
