For media wishing to get closer to the action, high speed boats will take up to 70 photographers onto the water each day. Three larger launches will accommodate the written press. Providing the conditions allow, 60 writers could take to the water each day.
The seas can be bumpy and the media are warned of the danger of seasickness.
The launches will follow racing in the ten Olympic classes according to demand, and those interested in a specific races will be grouped together . Launches will be as flexible as possible in returning to shore.
Some of the racing passes right in front of the Nothe, a fort where spectators will watch the action during the Games.
The venue press centre will be in a temporary structure on the Weymouth and Portland Sailing Academy complex. It will be much bigger than that used at the test event, with space for 185, and an overflow area in the media conference room.
Just to keep everyone interested the venue also has its own sea monster. The Veasta is reputed to be four metres tall with the torso of a fish and the upper body of a crested sea horse and locals claim recent sightings.
