Sailing and saving the seven seas

Not by the Playbook

Available for over a year

Copenhagen is hosting the latest round of Sail GP. The competition not only pits some of the best known sailors against each other on the water but also and uniquely offers its competing teams rewards for their actions taken off it. The idea is to make a competition out of being as environmentally friendly as possible, alongside thrilling action on the water. We hear from Hannah Mills, the most successful female sailor in Olympic history, who would be part of the British boat were she not 8 months pregnant! She tells us about the need for action on climate to save future generations. Plus, how much money can you make throwing frisbee? The answer might surprise you. Ahead of the World Team Disc Golf Championships in Croatia we speak to Robert "Nob" Rauch, president of the World Flying Disc Federation about the growth of the sport and his hopes of an Olympic future. And we are live in Saudi Arabia ahead of the big Heavyweight title fight, we're in Munich as the European Championships come to an end and we'll pop into the Tottenham Hotspur stadium where wolves are the visitors in the early kick off.
