No sailing at Laser Worlds
There’s been no racing at the Laser World Championships in Halifax, Nova Scotia for two days now, where ten kiwi sailors are competing.
On Sunday sailors and organisers packed up the regatta site in preparation for a brush with Hurricane Bill. Then one day on, ironically, there was not enough wind causing another lost day.
The forecast for tonight predicts winds of 10-15 knots, which should allow for the World Championship racing to resume. The schedule allows for two more days to complete the regatta and for the world title to be decided on August 26th in Canada.
