International 505 World Championship Racing Cancelled --Again -- for Day 3

Once again 505 and FD competitors arrived at the Point Yacht Club Beach Site in time to rig and launch their boats for the 10:50 first signal, only to find that conditions were too extreme to race. The Race Committee first abandoned racing for the FDs and a little later made the same decision for the 505s.

Today the wind is straight off the shore, and it is raining hard. The event tents were not withstanding the wind well, and were taken down several days ago. Sitting in the "internet café," a rented trailer with eight PCs and an internet connection, we can hear the wind whistling by us.

Apparently the forecast is for conditions to improve for tomorrow.

Three races are required for a valid series, and four are required for there to be a throw-out race. The schedule does have a lay day built in which can be used to make up races, and if necessary the RC can run two races a day in order to get in enough races.
