Mixed fortunes for Ben

Ben Ainslie won both races on day four of the Finn Europeans in Scarlino, Italy but was disqualified from race 7 for a startline incident.

Sorry for the lack of Yachts and Yachting Online on Wednesday - we suffered a severe hack. The forum has taken a hit - unfortunately everything posted between 15th April and 6th May is gone.

We have the full report and photo gallery from the massive RS Anniversary event at Hayling.

We have reports in from the Dart 18 nationals, the GP14 Scottish championship, the Hornet Welsh championship, the Osprey Welsh and Midland championship and the Solo Welsh championship.
