It’s Wimbledon Fortnight . . . Strawberries and cream anyone?
Ben Ainslie, Hannah Mills and Dylan Fletcher were spotted taking a break at Centre Court ahead of the Emirates Great Britain Sail Grand Prix, Portsmouth, in a couple of weeks time.
Ainslie, CEO & Co-owner of Emirates Great Britain SailGP Team, said: “It’s been three years since we last raced on British waters, so we’re delighted to be returning home — especially to a race track we know so well.”
Dylan Fletcher will not be hanging around for the Wimbledon final . . . he has been taking part in Foiling Week on Lake Garda, and is entered for the Moth Worlds there from Tuesday 8th July, before he jets back for the day-job at the SailGP Grand Prix in Portsmouth.
