How do you guys think GBR will do? 

and has anyone got tickets? if not are you going to chance it and see if you can see from the beaches? 


In my opinion I think we have great potential and we will definitly pick up more than one gold on home waters. But watching wise i think it will be better to see it on TV than stand on the beaches without a ticket and risk not seeing anything, or seeing from far away. however I realise the atmousphere wont be the same from ont he sofa.

We must be on for a medal inthe Star ...

I'd say we have a chance of a medal in everything except the Radial.

And the gold medal for the most wins goes to.....LASER!
I'm not arguing. I'm explaining why I'm right.

After all the hype, I'm predicting a realistic but disappointing set of results - 2 silvers and a bronze, with others coming 4th, and a couple completely out of it. 2 Silvers Finn and Laser, bronze ladies windsurfing. And a new set of younger, keener sailors for 2016.

I'm just really pleased to see some real talent in the women's 470 at last.  This is a tough class for us Brits as we have no grass roots competition in this class from which to build a talent base, as opposed to other European countries.  Let's hope the girls can do well and get other women into the class and sailing in general.
the same, but different...
