Benny takes the lead

Rob Greenhalgh, hot-footing is back from the Volvo Ocean Race finish, has taken the lead in the inaugural 18ft skiff Mark Foy trophy in Carnac. 30 skiffs are competing.

We also have the latest from the Squib nationals in Weymouth where 108 teams are competing.

Craig Burlton, Steve White and Adam Heeley have won the Laser SB3 nationals in Falmouth. 68 teams took part in the event.

A dominant performance by Scotland’s Sean Maclean sailing with sons Donald and Ian won the RS Elite nationals on Belfast Loch.

Paul Goodison took Great Britain’s only gold at Kieler Woche in Germany. It marks a hat-trick of golds for Goodison from the three World Cup regattas he’s competed in.

We also have final reports from the 505 Europeans, the Farr 40 worlds, the Hunter Formula One nationals, the International Moth Europeans, the X-35 Worlds and X-41 Europeans.

Telefónica Black has won the final leg of the Volvo Ocean Race 2008-09. Torben Grael's Ericsson 4 won the race overall.
