Racing canned

No wind on Lake Traunsee for the penultimate day of the RC44's Austria Cup

Lake Traunsee remained as flat as a mirror today, reflecting a grey and stationary sky. As a result the sailors taking part in the RC 44's Austria Cup stayed on land all day, waiting for some wind. However Principal Race Officer Peter Reggio had no other choice than to call racing off for the day at 3:30 PM.

Four teams are currently separated by three points in the overall standings, so tomorrow’s final races will be interesting.
