Great Britain's crack crew of Iain Percy and Andrew 'Bart' Simpson looked to have the Gold Medal for the Mens Keelboat, the Star, in the bag closing in on the finish.

However in the last 10 metres, they managed to drop three places and with it the Gold Medal.

Sail-World's camera was there to catch all the action
