Andy interviewed the Kiwis in the build-up to the Rio 2016 Games, which they went on to dominate. Now they're the youngest winners of the America's Cup and widely regarded as the best sailors in the world.....

In Olympic circles nobody talks about having a bad day, writes Ben Remocker. The cliched quote most often heard in post racing interviews is about lessons learned. Unless the lesson can be explained, don’t believe it, despite how often the phrase is repeated...

The first edition of FINNFARE in 2019 has been published with the amazing photo of Giles Scott bursting through a wave on the final reach during the medal race in Palma, brilliantly caught by Junichi Hirai of Bulkhead Magazine. There's a deep analysis of hiking styles and did you know that, 'when you are sailing close to the boat in front of you, you are enjoying a current of 2 knots with you?' Neither did we!

Stu Bithell is looking to win a 49er Olympic medal to go with the 470 silver he won at London 2012, and he's also spending time on Slough Industrial Estate, learning how to sail at 45 knots....

Over the coming 14 months the final 10 places for Finns on the starting line at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics will be determined. With the exception of the African continental qualifier, the full qualification system for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games has been published by World Sailing...

Roy Dunster argues the case for change in advance of the debate in Florida at the World Sailing Conference. Will it make any difference at all? Probably not. The Member National Authorities (MNAs) have a long history of voting for short-term, self interest. Understandable - up to a point. But not at the expense of losing sailing from the Olympics. Roy makes the case for a bolder choice....

Elliot Hanson took Laser gold at the Sailing World Cup in Enoshima by the equivalent of two Medal Races, he was that far ahead on points.

Here Hanson speaks to Andy Rice about bouncing back from injury earlier in the season and his belief in the British squad system....

James Peters and Fynn Sterritt have won gold in the 49er at the Sailing World Cup in Enoshima, and they're pretty darn happy about it. Andy Rice spoke to the British duo as soon as they stepped ashore for the medal ceremony....

How can sailors from small nations possibly compete against the big teams with multimillion dollar backing? A number of competitors - people like Pavlos Kontides of Cyprus and Sime Fantela of Croatia - continue to prove that with the right attitude and approach, it is possible to get to the very top. Even more remarkable has been Sime and Mihovil Fantela's rapid rise to the top of the 49er fleet, winning the Worlds just 18 months after getting into the Olympic skiff for the first time. Here Sime tells Sailjuice about his approach to the business of winning....

Santiago Lange became one of the stories of the whole Olympic Games in Rio 2016. The Argentinean won a last-gasp gold in the Nacra 17 Medal Race less than a year after conquering cancer. Much as he hated being the centre of attention for beating the C word, he learned to embrace his new celebrity. Yet he remains as quietly unassuming as ever, as this interview from the Sailing World Cup in Marseille reveals. Call him greedy, but Santi is after his fourth Olympic medal at Tokyo 2020, by which time he will be 58 years old. The ever-youthful Lange still doesn't see his age as a barrier. More the challenge is all the other projects he has going on, including racing on the TP52 circuit and as a sports consultant to one of Argentina's top-performing professional polo teams...
