Sailing Star Men Medal Race Full Replay from the Weymouth and Portland at the London 2012 Olympic Games. -- 5 August 2012
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.

Second upwind mark rounding is insane

[@veramenteeuforico8233]

Such a shame is no more an Olympic class

[@davids4700]

Great race - shame about the poor aerial footage spoiling the finish.

[@cptmat100]

i was10 and the race your watching is for gold and this was there last race for the star it was retired from the olimpics

[@timfangrad5173]

I can't imagine how fans of this can sit through an entire race. I actually fell asleep in my chair for 20 minutes watching this, and woke up with the video still playing.

[@scottsonnier8687]

Звезда.. это этика и гармония , а уже потом яд и коварство.

[@perryquinn8401]

Great stuff Perry🌍🏆🔱🤟😎🖕😁

[@timfangrad5173]

My mom might like this if only as an excuse to use her binoculars. The only upside to going to a live event would be the experience of just being out there. I guess I could also have an outdoor picnic while I watched.

SHAME ON OLYMPIC SAILING FOR DITCHING THE STAR CLASS.

[@jonathanshore5768]

And the Finn

[@andrewpegman7959]

Jonathan Shore the Finn is still in

[@Prof.SchulzeSternberg]

Good to see Star is out

[@JB-rt4mx]

[@chrismartin5870]

Conditions the same for everyone but...............making those sailors that were all career professionals sail that final race so close to the shore......and the race being double points was a nonsense.

[@jeriksson7686]

SWEDEN RULES! =)

[@mini696]

These have to be one of the ugliest looking boats in the water. They really look awkward and inefficient.

[@andrewpegman7959]

8meterwish but lovely sails

[@martygingras8683]

Form follows function.

[@lili1302016]

horrible hull for a racer 1 and 3rd leg was a very poor performance, again the hull displacement kill the w hole crew in every boat
