Script:

Four time Olympic gold medallist Ben Ainslie made a strong start to the Argo Group Gold Cup action in Bermuda on Tuesday, with wins in all four of his races.

Fresh from making a significant impact in Team Oracle USA retaining the America's Cup, Ainslie was enjoying being back out on the water - albeit in a very different format.

A wildcard entry here, Ainslee has teamed up with his crew from the 2008 season and he was happy with the team performance -

SOUNDBITE: (English) Sir Ben Ainslie
"We're just enjoying sailing together again. We always had a good time as a group and it's the same now and we're just here to have fun really. We're not too worried about how the results go and that means that we're probably sailing a bit looser and we're not too stressed about it.

SOUNDBITE: (English) Sir Ben Ainslie
"So today we've raced Bjorn Hansen and Josh Greenslade so we've had two great races, two really good teams. But we seem to like the conditions as they are at the moment and we'll see how we go for the rest of the day."

Ainslee's team also won their races against Phil Robertson and William Tiller later in the day.
