We are three days out from the start of competition in the 2024 Olympic Sailing Regatta in Marseille.

This is the start of Sail-World's Olympic coverage - which will be handled remote from the Olympic venue using a variety of feeds.

The weather and sailing conditions in Marseille look to be brilliant - evidenced by top photographer and Marseille resident Gilles Martin-Raget's superb images of the host team and others training off Marseille.

In this edition German 49er sailors Jakob Meggendorfer and Andreas Spranger, and Marla Bergmann, helm for the German 49erFX team in the 2024 Paris Olympics tell us about the Olympic marina and athlete village, their thoughts on the competition and more.
