When it’s race time at ISAF Sailing World Cup Regattas many of the world’s best sailors come alive on Twitter and let the world know exactly what they’re up to.
Over 400 world class sailors are followed on the @ISAFSailors account and here we have a small selection of tweets ahead of racing at ISAF Sailing World Cup Hyères.
Racing commences on Monday 21 April across ten Olympic and two Paralympic events in Hyères, France. The Medal Races on Saturday 26 April will bring the regatta to a close.

Whilst being a world class sailing venue Hyères also boasts some good extracurricular activities. The British 49er boys got involved with some go-karting action just the other day…

Belgium’s Evi Van Acker lets us know that she is well prepared for racing and looking forward to a Sunday break before racing. Van Acker dropped out of the podium on the final day of ISAF Sailing World Cup Mallorca and will no doubt want to come back stronger in the south of France.
Goed getraind & happy! Morgen rust en maandag begint de ISAF World Cup in Hyères 🙂 🙂 🙂 http://t.co/jf721LPOxg
