Also today the RYA are launching their official Team GB video, ‘On Top Down Under’, with Iain Percy, Hugh Styles and Adam May on hand to sign copies. This morning they took to the water to demonstrate their skills, in a contest of boys against girls. Robertson and Rawlinson failed to keep the pace set by the boys, May and Percy, despite the fact that Percy took time out to test the righting abilities of his dinghy.
