Crowds make their way to the grandstands to watch all the action in this weekend’s SailGP, while some folk are still sitting in traffic jams and police on horseback look somewhat out of place.
At the Tech site, crews assemble the 12 boats for today’s race. All are filled with identical sized foils in preparation for 24k winds.
And then the Viking Orion glided by!
The Spanish team are dismantling their damaged boat, that will fit into 3 containers.
And it’s only 10.30!
Here’s a gallery of what else we’ve seen this morning.
