World Sailing present their July 2016 video magazine featuring the Round the Island race (around the Isle of Wight) and preview several personalities and aspects of the upcoming Rio Olympics
With over 1,500 entries and 16,000 sailors the annual Round the Island Race is a spectacle.

And Andy Rice explains why this Olympic class is so popular, yet so hard to sail well.
Plus, news from around the world.
