Roy Heiner speaks out

Everything you wanted to know but didn't dare to ask.

Finally, what are you going to do after this - back to the Olympics?

I have not thought about the Olympics yet but I keep thinking, how can you sail around without a spinnaker how can you not do match racing? So it's a little bit of a problem.

You've been campaigning for the Soling to be re-instated?

Yeah. For me it's not the Soling. It's match racing as a discipline. The boat is just a means to an end but I do not understand how you can drop match racing, I just can't comprehend it, I think it's just lack of vision. Obviously the America's Cup is the Formula One of the sport as far as day-racing is concerned and that's happening later next year, so it's possible I might be doing some sailing with some of the teams.

Are you linked in there at all?

Not at the moment. I think it's very important to focus on what we're trying to do right now.

Can you imagine getting in a Star one day?

It hasn't crossed my mind yet.

Thanks very much Roy and best of luck.
