	The top two Radial Girls (Andrea and Penny) are flying out on August tenth, I'll have a chat with them when they get back! There are also quite a few newspaper articles, I will try and get hold of some. I am not going out until September... Edited by Jon Emmett

	I don't have a screen big enough to handle this thread (or the inclination to scroll around it) What the hell happened with that scan Jon?

	Yes, you can see all the weather in real time and forecasts via the Skandia Team GBR website that they are running to cover the Pre-Olympics. Check out the weather button on www.skandiateamgbr.com/2006preolympics You will also see that the aforementioned Penny is today's overnight leader on the results after 2 races.

	I hear that she has just chucked in her job with the Royal Navy to go sailing full time. Soon after she medalled at the Europeans. Was it not light too for most of the week? Maybe Penny is about to lead the Radial girls to a new level.

	Some quality propoganda on the site. If you read the forecasts it says the wind will be f3-4 and then 4-5 if you check out the actually bouy wind speed forecast it never gets above 6 knots. Are chinese winds forces different?
	I might be sailing it, but it's still sh**e!

	6 knot max and apparently up to 2 knots of tide! That'll make it interesting to watch on TV in 2008 - NOT!
