A Revival for US Olympic Sailing

Following a strong showing at the Rio Test Event, the US Sailing Team Sperry prove that the 2016 games could have some red, white and blue on the podium.

A the end of racing Monday, the 49er fleet had completed six races, and New Zealand's Peter Burling and Blair Tuke know there is plenty of racing yet to come.
Tuke says, “We’re halfway through the fleet racing series of the regatta. We had two races yesterday which were good for us, just a nice solid start, and it was good to get out and put the hammer down today and get three 1sts.”
“Not such a great race in the second one, but it was pleasing the way we bounced back and were able to take to more 1sts. We’re happy but we also know there’s plenty more work to do this week.”
