Yes Hurrah,
how do you pronounce Yngling anyway?

Well done to them - brilliant stuff, delivered with charm and good humour. I wonder if the great British public are going to sit up this time round and notice that GB is better at sailing than most (all?) other sports?!
Interested to read this morning that 36 people own their boat, £1000 each.

Actually, the "Y" should be pronounced as a German "Ü". Apart from that, the word is pronounced as if it was an English word.
I also believe that you need to stress both syllables for it to sound completely Norwegian (it's a Norwegian design), in stead of just the first like you would in English.

I am sure the BBC will grab the opportunity of our success in winning a gold in sailing and have a whole series of sailing programs produced. After all the public knows what a great sailing nation we are. We DO HAVE some sailing greats in this country, lets celebrate them!!!
Of course the airtime might need, to be used for the snooker semi finals, or darts or the edited highlights of the highlights, with analysis and slow motion replays, of course, of the football.
No, forget it. There is no big sponsors money flying around. It wouldn’t happen.
