In December 2008, the inaugural ISAF Sailing World Cup launched into action, showcasing the world's top Olympic and Paralympic sailors in a new annual series. After five of seven events, the World Cup has already hosted numerous twists and turns, drama, a spot of controversy and most of all, plenty of spectacular action out on the water. You can now follow the World Cup story so far via our host of video clips on the new ISAF Sailing World Cup YouTube channel at www.YouTube.com/SailingWorldCup.

Melbourne, Miami, Palma, Hyeres and most recently Medemblik have all hosted World Cup events to date and over 30 video clips featuring racing footage and interviews from all of these venues are now available to view on YouTube.

The new YouTube channel is designed as a home for all video content on the World Cup, no matter how long or short, serious or frivolous! It will complement the existing Sail.TV player already available at the ISAF Sailing World Cup website www.sailing.org/isafsailingworldcup (or click here to go straight to out Sail.TV player).

If you have a World Cup related video you'd like to see published on the YouTube channel just email us at newseditor@isaf.co.uk with the details.
