What they said:
Elliot Hanson (25, Macclesfield, Cheshire), Laser
"I'm really enjoying my sailing here and feel the most competitive across the wind range I've ever been. Unfortunately I got a little over excited in the second race and received a yellow flag which put a downer on an otherwise brilliant day."
