Today is forecast to see the breeze build from a modest 10-12 knots up to 25 knots by the afternoon. More is expected for the next two days, raising the pressure for competitors and organisers alike.

Among those who’ve been talked about overnight and this morning, Paul Goodison’s back injury. He looked in great pain yesterday when he came ashore, today he looks better but was taking no chances as Andrew Simpson helped him to rig and launch his boat.

The action on the water includes RSX men and Women, Laser and Laser Radials, 49ers and Match Racing.
