Never have we had so much success or British representation at the highest level of the sport, including the Olympics, Americas Cup and the Volvo Ocean Race as well as the various other professional racing circuits from The Extreme 40's to TP52's. Sailing is one of the only sports in the world where you can race against, and with, the sport's most famous stars on the same playing field, and now even in the same boats!
