Members of Skandia Team GBR, selected as part of Team GB are currently in training at the Beijing Olympic venue Qingdao. Battling with foggy conditions and tidal issues, the team is familiarising themselves with the location ahead of the Olympics which are starting in a number of week.

With a range of support staff on the ground in China the team is settling into their mini Olympic Village, and are enjoying some of the luxuries of home with our own English chef, doctors, therapists as well as some entertainment luxuries to help relax off the water. The team has an exclusive area within the sailing arena, which assists in maintaining the team moral within the group.
