Sail-World has already started to release its detailed series on the Olympic Commission report, with some of it's recommendations possibly being implemented at the 2012 Olympics in Weymouth.

The weekend weather - A large area of high pressure centred to the west of Portugal will slowly drift northwards, extending a ridge across the United Kingdom at times. Strong south-westerly winds, force six or more are expected to develop across Sole, Lundy, Fastnet, Irish Sea and Plymouth during Saturday evening and overnight into Sunday morning. Saturday is shaping up to be a nice, dry day with temperatures reaching 15 degrees in some places. Showers on Sunday.

Have a wonderful weekend.
