Hampshire sailing star Ben Ainslie has endured a miserable day in the World Championships off Auckland.

The Lymington-based Olympic legend was beaten in all three of his Finn class races by fellow Brit Giles Scott.

Ainslie could only manage three third places while Scott won two races and was second in the other.

As a result, Ainslie is now third overall behind leader Pieter-Jan Postman and Scott.
