Laser Worlds – Day 4

Live Sail Die - September 2, 2010 - 18:08

As Tom Slingsby scooted into first place in the 2010 Laser World Championships I ventured to the Weymouth & Portland National Sailing Academy to chat with the guys who run the learn to sail program and to check out the location of the 2012 Olympic Games.

I fell in love with Weymouth. It’s such a beautiful seaside town with a magnificent Victorian feel. Definitely a place to visit if anyone is ever down that way.

So I really have no idea what happened at the Worlds today apart from knowing that an Aussie is leading (woo!!!!!)

Back at Hayling Island Sailing Club tomorrow.

Until then!

OG OUT.
