Hampshire's sailors today scooped another medal as their Olympic glory weekend continued.

Lymington's Nick Rogers won a silver medal this morning.

The 31-year-old and his partner Joe Glanfield grabbed silver medal in the men's 470 class.

Southampton-born Rogers, who gets married next month, and Glanfield also won a silver in Athens four years ago.

He was cheered on by members of the Royal Lymington yacht Club who watched the drama on a big screen.

Also watching was his dad Jonathan, who said: "I am very proud - they are a remarkable team."

The silver medal coems after a golden weekend for Hampshire's sailors.

Lymington's Ben Ainslie became Britian's greatest ever Olympic sailor after winning gold yesterday.

After the frustration of having the race abandoned yesterday, the three time Olympic gold medalist went out and won the final race in the Finn class.

Friends and family at the Royal Lymington Yacht Club cheered and waved their flags with joy as he finally claimed his medal.

Ben followed success of Pippa Wilson, and her crew in the Yngling class.

The Southampton sailor - one of the "three blondes in a boat" - won her event shortly before 7am UK time.

Scores of friends and family - including her sister Fran - cheered with delight at the Royal Lymington Yacht Club as the trio crossed the finish line first in Qingdao .
