Second part of BBC ‘Olympic Sailing' documentaries to air this weekend 

Set your recorders to be sure to catch it

Following on from their Skandia Sail for Gold Regatta documentary a fortnight ago, part two of the BBC’s two programmes on Olympic Classes sailing will air this weekend.

There was no downtime for Britain’s top sailors after Sail for Gold, with major World Championships underway for the Laser, Finn and RS:X windsurfing classes this week.

Part 2 of “OLYMPIC SAILING”, produced by Sunset+Vine|APP in association with BBC Sport, will come from Hayling Island this Sunday (5 September) on the final day of the Laser World Championships where Beijing gold medallist Paul Goodison is out to defend his title.

The 30-minute programme will also bring you some of the action from the Finn Gold Cup in San Francisco, including a feature on the man to break Ben Ainslie’s six-year winning record in the Olympic Finn class, 23 year-old Giles Scott, and also takes a road trip with Bryony Shaw to the windsurfing Worlds venue in Denmark, where she and defending World Champion Nick Dempsey have been vying for the podium spots this week.

“OLYMPIC SAILING” (Part 2) Sunday 5 September – 1605-1635 BBC2

The programme will also be available on BBC iPLAYER after transmission date
