Even though ben hasnt been in the finn for a while lets face it, you certainly dont get worse at sailing through doing america's cup stuff! |

I believe there is absolutely no doubt Ben will be in China is 2008! Ed is a great sailor but Ben is a legend...

Well, results from the first 2 races are up and it appears Ben hasn't lost the touch - 1,2 !! Not bad for his first Finn regatta since the 2005 Gold Cup.

I always thought I would be willing to bet my house on Ben winning Finn regattas, but now Ed Wright is on form and regularly knocking in top three performances I am not so sure. I suppose we will see this week whether Ben still has it... |

I think the next couple of regatta's for Ben will decide if he can be competative having had time away from the Finn. I would put money on Ben wanting to compete, the question is can he?? |

who thinks he'll compete in 2008 or is he streaching himself too thin |
