Sail-World was on the water for the racing on Weymouth Bay, today, the third day of the Olympic competition. The wind was fresh and sailing fast and furious.

Here's the action as we saw it from the Mens Two Handed Keelboat, the Star class as they twice rounded the windward mark in the first race of the day
