Wind blowing hard, possibly too hard for racing

Principal Race Officer Peter Craig is keeping his options open, but is concerned that the wind will be too strong to hold today’s final race.

“The big breeze we expected to pump in mid-afternoon has come in quite a bit earlier,” he said. “However we’re going to hold out some hope. We’ve sent out a service boat to monitor the breeze just outside the harbour, and the service boat is reporting 22-23 knots with puffs of 26 knots. That leads us to believe racing is unlikely to happen, but we’re not pulling the plug yet.”
