This looks to be an exciting sporting weekend with the Olympic flame now in London and Bradley Wiggins expected to be the first Briton to win the Tour de France in Paris on Sunday. The same day will also see the finish of the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race at Ocean Village in Southampton. This is the conclusion of 40,000 miles at sea and 51 weeks of ocean racing. Crowds of people are expected to turn up to welcome the yachts back and you can look here for the full programme of events for the day.
The photos above were recently taken in the Ocean Village marina of a completely different yacht and race. They show the ICAP Leopard yacht preparing for the 2012 Round the Island Race held on 30th June.
