The world's top two Men's 470 crews will face off in Weymouth and Portland, continuing their long-running jostle for supremacy.

World #1 Mat Belcher and Will Ryan claimed the world championship titles in 2013, 2014 and 2015. Their quest for a clean quadrennial sweep but scuppered by World #2 Sime Fantela and Igor Marenic (CRO) who sealed a convincing win at the 2016 worlds in Buenos Aires, Argentina,

The Croatians got the better of the Australians at Sailing World Cup Hyères in April so come in strong. Stu McNay and Dave Hughes (USA) took the 2015 Weymouth and Portland crown and make a return. Further contenders include Luke Patience and Chris Grube (GBR) as well as Anton Dahlberg and Fredrik Bergstrom (SWE).

In the Women's 470, the world's top two teams, Lara Vadlau and Jolanta Ogar (AUT) and Hannah Mills and Saskia Clark (GBR) will be within the 19-boat fleet. They will be joined by 2016 World Champions Camille Lecointre and Helene Defrance (FRA).

Racing kicks off on Wednesday 8 June and will conclude on Sunday 12 June with the Medal Races which will be broadcast live on the World Sailing TV YouTube Channel - http://www.youtube.com/worldsailingtv
