12 or so second lead round mark 3. Final downwind leg now.
The wind might be rubbish, but the ten minutes I've now watched, the coverage is rather good. Edited by alstorer |

Looks like he's down to third or fourth- the horror of being able to do so little when micro-puffs come through, even when you're top of the game.

It looks dire doesn't it. Huge tide and no wind - Ben's dropped right back on the final leg... |

It would appear that Ainslie is not out of the lead group - Greece leading

Greeks won the race, Ben Ainslie has finished ninth - make that tenth. He lead by 100 metres at the windward mark but a shift and drop in wind half way down the final run let through 9 other sailors. Qingdao is going to form! Edited by Mark Jardine |
