World Sailing Show, June 2016 Edition, Sailing Video & News

The World Sailing Show - June 2016:

A look at two very different routes to the Rio Games. Multiple Finn World Champion Giles Scott has four boats, three training partners along with one of the world’s leading coaches and technical experts in his team. Meanwhile, Nacra 17 sailors Nikola Girke and Luke Ramsay are self-funded, have no training partners and were sailing a borrowed boat at the Sailing World Cup in Weymouth and still made it to the medal race. In Chicago it was crash and burn as the America’s Cup World Series fleet scorched around the course. Plus, go behind closed doors to see Artemis Racing’s secret race boat in build. Olympic expert Andy Rice explains what makes the Finn tick and why sailing it is like playing rugby. Plus, news from around the world. Published June 27, 2016
