Strong winds force cancellation of race 3 of the NSW 18ft Skiff Championship

Strong winds on Sydney Harbour today forced the cancellation of Race 3 of the NSW 18ft Skiff Championship.

The only activity today was the hearing of four protests pending from last Sunday’s Race 2, which resulted in the following decisions being made by the independent YA committee:

Southern Cross Constructions was disqualified
Appliancesonline was disqualified
Gotta Love It 7 was awarded average points
Rag & Famish Hotel was awarded average points
Omega Smeg was awarded average points
Kinder Caring Home Nursing was awarded average points

The disqualifications of the third placed appliancesonline and fourth placed Southern Cross Constructions means that all skiffs originally finishing from fifth place, and thereafter, are elevated by two (2) placings.

Race 4 of the NSW Championship will be sailed on Sydney Harbour next Sunday, 30 November.

A decision regarding Race 3 will be made during the coming week.
