No Wind and No Sailing in Santa Cruz on Day Three

A lack of wind meant no sailing today at the Melges 24 North American Champion in Santa Cruz, California. The boats went afloat ready for the scheduled 1230 start but it gradually became clear conditions weren’t developing as hoped. Initially the Race Committee signalled code flags A over H and sent the crews back to the harbour to await further instructions. Sadly by 1430 it was clear that racing would not be possible and the signal was changed to N over H abandoning all racing for the day.

The Race Committee is currently considering whether to bring forward the planned 1230 start time for the final day tomorrow to enable them to get in an extra race. A decision must be posted by 2000 tonight.
