The current forecast in Cadiz, Spain, suggests winds could hit more than 30 knots at times as the best of the best battle it out to go into the Olympics as world champions starting tomorrow.

The RYA has decided that in light of the current Covid-19 situation it is in the best interests of all parties to postpone the 2021 Youth National Championships.
The prestigious regatta, the UK s premier youth racing event, was due to take place from April 4 to 9 hosted by Plymouth Youth Sailing Club in Plymouth, Devon.
With the UK currently in lockdown and likely to revert to the tier system once restrictions ease, the decision has been made to delay the regatta until the summer.
This will give organisers the time to plan for the best possible event, as well as giving time for the nationwide vaccination programme to take effect.

The RYA has welcomed the creation of a new sailing series aimed at promoting and growing short-handed offshore sailing in the UK.
The UK Double Handed Offshore Series will be a stand-alone series debuting in 2021 made up of six existing races including flagship events such as the Rolex Fastnet Race and Round the Island Race.
The RORC-backed series is the brainchild of round-the-world sailor Henry Bomby, who raced in the 2017-18 Volvo Ocean Race and has also competed on the singlehanded Figaro circuit.
It will be open to double handed teams sailing boats with an IRC rating between 0.990 and 1.055 TCC, and has already attracted big names such as two-time Olympic gold medallist Shirley Robertson and Dee Caffari, the only the only woman to have sailed non-stop around the world three times.
