Ned would be proud...

...though I suspect not remotely surprised, that the greatest ever Olympic sailor is a fellow Cornishman.


Well done Ben Ainslie, stunning sailing.

I loved this. Loved that he was confident enough to have put smoke canisters in the boat ready. They must have really annoyed him with the buoy incident.

Oh, they did. They shouldn't have got him angry.

Am hoping the girls will get inside goss tomorrow - they're at the orthodontist for check ups and he goes there too.

Huzzay for the handsome Cornish heroes.

Huzzah indeed! Did the girls manage to get any goss then??

I'm hoping that Patience and Bithell can pull off a similar feat in the 470 class this afternoon.

No sailing goss - too busy talking athletics, I understand. Next time, maybe...

This is still one of the highlights of the games for me. That interview he gave after the buoy incident was incredible. Like all good sailors, Mr Ainslie is clearly not a man to cross!

Fine fellow - can have a place on my quarterdeck any time.
Turning anger into victory - might even manage to survive the Navy Board then .

Yes - grand wasn;t it? Looking forward to the lazer races today too :)

Mr Ainslie would make a splendid addition to your quarterdeck Sir Edward! Though it appears he had inherited that famous Cornish temper as well as the renowned Cornish sailing abilities!

Ned/nod, we has dibs on him. Planning a cutting out expedition down to Lymington...
