Thank you, thank you! (bows humbly)

It is really nice to see the top three positions
are by Britain and her ex-colonies.


Yeah although Spain did pretty well, her former colonies didn't.



It's a real pity that Australians cannot feel
the pride in Britain's performance that the British
feel about Australia's performance. See the following..

BTW maybe the IOC will now realise that the 49er is the unreliable

It's an exciting boat to watch, at least... more so than the Tornados
IMHO.

Interesting controversy with the Code 0 sails, I'd have thought they'd
be the nuts for light air. Am thinking about getting one for my boat,
