Olympic Sailing 2012 – Weymouth, Dorset

Weymouth 2012 – Venue of the Olympic Sailing Events

As we near the end of the Olympic sailing events in Weymouth, the town can be congratulated for its fantastic organisation.  Everything has operated like clockwork and nothing has been too much trouble.  The crowds, granted not all from Weymouth, have shown the world what a friendly, welcoming, supportive, tolerant, bunch we are, not to mention our great sporting prowess!
