Vindicated.

Exciting end to the sailing but no stopping ben, Benn Ainslie WAFG, well done.

Never seen crowds that huge for Sailing, amazing.

Brilliant stuff from Ainslie

Got lucky with the conditions today but cant argue with his record

First time I've seen the Finn class boat but they look like an absolute dog and reminded me of a glorfied Manly Junior

Apparently designed in 1949 and havent changed much since

So Percy messed up but Ben was amazing. Crazy crowds.

Yes they look a lot like Toppers that I've sailed before but a little bit bigger, great when you're a kid but a absolute **** as a adult.

Australia should get a gold today shouldn't they, double the tally.

benchmark00 · 06-08-2012, 07:15 AM

C'mon Slingshot.

Had always assumed watching the sailing would be a bit dull, apparently not. Yesterdays race and then today's again has been enthralling viewing.

Taste it you ****s, TASTE IT!

We're back babeh!

_Ed_ · 06-08-2012, 07:39 AM

Nice one! Congrats, Aussies.

Love how he promptly tips his boat over the moment he wins the race. Grats to him.

NUFAN · 06-08-2012, 07:41 AM

Onya Tommy!

Burgey · 07-08-2012, 07:13 AM

How cool is it that they have windsurfing? Reminds me of a holiday in Fiji where you wander down the beach and pick one up and take off.

It going though now, this is the last Olympics for it Burgey. Shame really.
