South Coast Journalism have published a special feature video about the Weymouth & Portland Sailing World Cup. The video follows the races of their local sailors, from around the Bournemouth to Hamble area, including RS:X windsurfer Emma Wilson (Christchurch), Laser sailor Nick Thompson (Lymington) and 470 sailors Sophie Weguelin (Lymington) with Eilidh McIntyre (Hayling Island), Anna Carpenter (Hamble) with Amy Seabright (Weymouth).

Wilson secured the silver medal by winning the RS:X medal race over China's Peina Chen, a fourth on Sunday for Thompson was enough to see him win gold and then Weguelin and McIntyre won their medal race to take silver, just ahead of Seabright and Carpenter who won bronze.
