Brilliant stuff from Ainslie

Got lucky with the conditions today but cant argue with his record

First time I've seen the Finn class boat but they look like an absolute dog and reminded me of a glorfied Manly Junior

Apparently designed in 1949 and havent changed much since
Yes they look a lot like Toppers that I've sailed before but a little bit bigger, great when you're a kid but a absolute **** as a adult.

Had always assumed watching the sailing would be a bit dull, apparently not. Yesterdays race and then today's again has been enthralling viewing.

Love how he promptly tips his boat over the moment he wins the race. Grats to him.

How cool is it that they have windsurfing? Reminds me of a holiday in Fiji where you wander down the beach and pick one up and take off.

Haha, they're totally thrilled. Good on them.

Feel sorry for the GB team - it went all the way down to the medal race. Great effort by them.

Friend's daughter finished with a silver in the match-racing

Brilliant achievement for a 19 yo skipper in her first Olympics
