| Is that 49er pic taken with a longish lens perchance? |

I get the impression that the sailors are not that impressed with the 'medal course' position being chosen for the benefit of the spectators.

As I dont have a ticket I will be on this grass bank, which is free and only a few hundred yards along the coast from your grass bank. Its nearer the pub too! ------------- |

Not overly. It's an old Fuji Bridge camera. 10.7x optical. Fair better view through a paid of binos. ------------- |
