Practice in Weymouth - August 2011 Star training Clarke/Bjorn Sailing Team http://www.clarkebjornsailing.com/
Gold Medalists, Ian Percy and Andrew Simpson invited Richard Clarke and Tyler Bjorn to a training camp at the Olympic venue in Weymouth for the past week. This is their fourth time sailing there.

According to Clarke, 'The venue is very tricky as winds this week have ranged from 0-40 and the waves vary substantially from the top of the course to the bottom. Training here at the Olympic venue with such a high quality team like Percy/Simpson is huge in our preparation for London 2012.'
