Australia's Tom Slingsby has more than made amends for a disappoint result in the 2008 Olympic Regatta. Four years later in Weymouth, he leads the points table after the conclusion of regular fleet racing - posting a hat-trick of wins.

Today on the Weymouth Bay course he was on fire, relishing the big seas and moderate breezes.

Sail-World's cameras were there to catch the action.
