Cleveland Metroparks today officially revealed plans for the Patrick S. Parker Community Sailing Center, a community center coming to the East 55th Street Marina in Cleveland. The Sailing Center will be the first of its kind along Lake Erie in Ohio, providing unprecedented public access and sailing opportunities to the region.

Following a no-start due to high winds at the first modern Olympic Games in 1896, sailing's 112-year Olympic history began on the River Seine at Meulan on 20 May 1900.

The Skiffs and Women's Windsurfers came out of postponement around 1300 local time to take advantage of an incoming seabreeze which built to about nine knots. Team USA windsurfers logged their first races of the Olympics, and USA Men's and Women's Skiff both stayed patient, using their consistency to both move up to 6th overall.

Thirteen American sailors will be in the waters of the Mediterranean in Marseille, the oldest city in France, for this Olympic games.
