Now thanks to Y&Y I know the schedule for the olympics sailing.

However, what do we think the TV coverage will be like? I thought the coverage of the America's Cup on Sky was good last year. However, I suspect that all we will get is 30 seconds here or there showing the start and then saying what the result was.

Sounds about right, there was no real sailing coverage last time, very disappointing.

There are some Sky channels that will show it like Sail TV, as to whether it will be live or not, who knows.

There was some on the red button in Athens so hopefully they will do the same this time. There is a listing on bbc.co.uk, but currently it only goes to the end of July.
