Television New Zealand have advised that the Sailing Olympics will be covered tonight starting at 9.05pm and running for almost the hour to 10.00pm.

The intention is to cover Course A, closest to shore which will feature Andrew Murdoch and Jo Aleh in the Laser and Laser Radial classes respectively. Weather willing the coverage will take in the first race of the Lasers, then the tail end of the Laser Radials Race 1, followed by full coverage of the Laser Radial Race 2.

We hope to be able to advise further details of Olympic sailing coverage by television New Zealand each day of the Olympic games.
