Windsurfing: Becalmed board sailors wrestle in vain with the hint of a breeze over the flat waters of Pevensey Bay yesterday

Guy Cribb, the UK windsurfing champion in the heavyweight class, and Vernon van den Berg, test the waters off Eastbourne after the final day of the North Sea Cup was cancelled due to the weather. On Saturday, 204 board sailors competed in the cup, the fourth and final leg of which will be held in Wimereux, France, in two weeks' time.
