There continues to be a great deal of interest in her interviews with Amelia Lux, the Mistral Silver medallist.
Roy Heiner, the Dutch Soling skipper and his training partner Jochen Schuemann, the Soling Silver Medallist.
Tom Schnackenberg, the Kiwi Technical coach and most recently with Victor Kovalenko the Australian 470 coach

Last night, after watching the fireworks on Sydney Harbour with the entire Sail-world team Isabelle said she is enjoyed working with our Aussie team.

"Stripey (Ian Grant) had been a joy! and he's taught me a lot".
