Britain's "three blondes in a boat" have confirmed that they will no longer race together after the Yngling class in which they won gold at the Beijing Olympics was removed from the sailing program for the 2012 London Games.
The International Sailing Federation decided to introduce a women's match racing event in modified Elliot 6 metre boats in place of the Yngling.
Sarah Ayton, Sarah Webb and Pippa Wilson are considering their options for 2012 in the remaining Olympic classes after ruling out match racing in the Elliots.

The three have been an integral part of Britain's recent domination of Olympic sailing.
British sailors won four gold medals and a silver and a bronze - at the Beijing Games, making Britain the most successful sailing nation for the third straight Olympics.
