Full coverage of the race 2 round of the men's star sailing event at the Weymouth & Portlands venue as part of the London 2012 Olympic Games,
Sailing was first contested as an Olympic sport at the 1900 Paris Games. Since then, the classes of boats allowed to compete have continually evolved to reflect advances in yacht design and technology. Equipment advances over the past 20 years have created a trend towards smaller and lighter craft, placing ever greater demands on both the athletic and technical capacities of the sailors.

I love the Star class. Sailed one on Lake Michigan in the 60’s. Fun but wet most of the time. Terry&ThePirates South Florida

[@MrBrahnco]

Most spot on proper sailing commentary. 💯

[@gary7thsnail546]

'ken-er-der' yeah proper for sure

[@kennethm.pricejr.8921]

Such a close finish! Such awesome competitors!

[@gurjeetsingh3349]

I love you Robert ..love his sailing and personality

[@MrDgarib]

It is very emotive to see Andrew Simpson in a Race after his tragic Dead.

[@jonathanshore5768]

Most skippers hold the back stays. Ian holds the check. Hard core

[@pierluigiippoliti5534]

amazing battle compliments for both

[@frankrusselldesign7563]

Bring back the Star. There is no better small keel boat class around. Mix the crewes if they like. Just bring it back.

[@pattyshobbyworld2851]

Amazing

[@mroutdoorsy]

nice to see support

[@walteroess8023]

The Starboat is the Stradivari of all classes. Very sensitive to the trim, very elegant and very hard to sail. To win a gold star, is still one of the toughest challenges in sailing.

[@ethanmoore1246]

RIP Andrew Simpson, we all lost a great sailor and a great athlete

[@johnsawtell-rickson3957]

What happened?

[@seanricketts941]

@@johnsawtell-rickson3957 Drowned during the 2013 Americas Cup when one of the boats capsized. He got caught under the trampoline and could not get out. This event caused many changes in the level of safety required to set foot on one of the americas cup boats

[@scorpius6667]

There is more "Sailing" with these boats than there is in the Prada and America's cup! The AC-75's are very fast but to me it's not "sailing" , it's "Foiling"! "Sailing" and "Foiling" are totally different and even though the 75's are ALOT faster for me I prefer the old fashioned "Seamanship" of "Sailing"! mea sententia 🦂

[@jonathanshore5768]

I’m a sailor and Fundamentalist but you don’t get enough credit toward the AC 75 can do and is and will do down the line read my word

[@mroutdoorsy]

im sure there will be lots of tension as the race progresses

[@kzeich]

Freeboard and fun- strong inverse relationship

[@mroutdoorsy]

long way to go anything could happen in this race

[@TermiteUSA]

Good commentating and shame on olympic sailing for ditching the Star class

[@ethans7917]

Capt Termite star sailing was never sailing in the first place. They’re so slow and to easy to sail

What do the crews hike so weird

[@sam.spoons7186]

To get maximum leverage for the maximum amount of time.

[@stevenbryant4718]

They hike as counterbalance and sit on the side of the hull because they are heavy and out of shape.

[@leftvassis]

Steven Bryant Try hiking like that for 10 minutes.They re not out of shape

[@scorpius6667]

It looked like the Brits won by half a boat!

[@stevenbryant4718]

Motorboats all over the racecourse. Why is this allowed. Can't they race without all the escorts?
