No racing today

It was a frustrating day sat on the shore at the 505 World Championship

Tuesday August 1st 2006, Author: Media Release, Location: United Kingdom
After the high of yesterday, the fleet today experienced the low of sitting in the clubhouse waiting for the Race Officer's decision on whether there would be any racing today at the 505 World Championship. The rattling halyards and scudding low clouds bore out the bad news coming back from the race track; the wind was a constant 25 knots and gusting higher.  With the tide soon to change direction to oppose the wind, the sea state would be sure to deteriorate further.  When the call came at 12.30 to abandon all racing for the day, it was therefore with an air of resignation that the competitors packed away their boats. 
 
Competition resumes on Wednesday 2nd after tomorrow's rest day.

For results see yesterday's report here.
