Speedboat becomes Virgin Money
Branson to take on the Atlantic again

Richard Branson is to join Alex Jackson, Mike Sanderson and a TeamOrigin crew for Speedboat's impending west to east transatlantic record attempt. A lumpy day off Porto Cervo resulted in spectacular action but also some injuries at the Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup. See Carlo Borlenghi's photo gallery. We get the low down on the the new Alfa Rome 3. See the video guided tour to the boat.

The Paralympics start this weekend and the three sailing classes are again racing in Qingdao - Toby Heppell looks at the unique nature of the event and who to keep your eyes on. Find out about the US Paralympic team.
