Watched Andrew Campbell sail the medal race in the Star event at Medemblik this afternoon. More precisely, I watched his gps track, and those of his fellow competitors, on the internet.
Why? Because he sailed a Laser for the US at the Olympics and is now trying to get to grips with the Star.
This image is just after the start. I reckon he's on the right side of the line but there was a recall and he turned round. He fought his way back up to fifth or sixth, to give him fifth overall. Exciting stuff. Mark Mendelblatt in the green boat was OCS, Robert Scheidt of Brasil, who knows his way round a Laser too, won the event.
