'In Olympian parlance, this is definitely Mylor’s own gold medal,' said MYH owner Roger Graffy, who also feels it's a resounding vote of confidence in Mylor's capabilities, following the harbour's £5m development programme over the past 10years and confirmation of its standard in supplying a complete package of services and facilities for visiting yachtspeople.  

The inclusion in the pre-Olympic guide means that the leading sailors from all around the world will have both the local sailing waters and Mylor's  servicing, repair facilities and accommodation recommended to them.

The bid for Olympic Training Centre status was successful submitted by a specially-formed consortium – the Mylor International Sailing Centre – led by MYH with Windsports International (one of the businesses on the site), Restronguet Sailing Club and Mylor Yacht Club.

'It's especially satisfying since a major evaluation and assessment process over the past year, spearheaded by the London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games (LOCOG) received more than a thousand applications,' said Graffy. 'The Mylor bid – promoting the historic and picturesque location on the banks of the River Fal - outlined the consortium's flexibility in providing a package to suit any Olympic sailing team’s needs.'
