Club Members Selected for Olympic Team

Sportsmail can reveal the country's greatest sailor will be unveiled as one of the first group of athletes named for Team GB for 2012.

He will be joined by the latest twist on the 'Three Blondes in a Boat' tradition - the 'Match Race Girls', sisters Lucy and Kate Macgregor and Annie Lush.

For Ainslie, the target is a fourth gold medal to go with the silver he took at his first Olympics in Atlanta 15 years ago.

Ainslie will start as the firm favourite having overcome the second best Finn sailor in the world, Giles Scott, in claiming the one British slot in the class.

That was a remarkable achievement given Ainslie only returned to the Finn last autumn after his America's Cup ambitions fell through.

Members will have the opportunity to support the Club's Olympic sailors and to meet some of them at London Olympic Benefit Dinner on 16th November.
