Tweeting Your Way To World Cup Hyères

The next instalment of the ISAF Sailing World Cup is approaching fast with sailors making the journey to Hyères, France to prepare for one of the biggest regattas of the year.

Elite level fleets in all ten of the Olympic events will put their skills to the ultimate test with 40 of the world’s best in each class.

In advance of racing, which takes places from 22-26 April we’ve collated some of the sailor tweets as they make their way to the south of France…
