RACING ONCE AGAIN POSTPONED DUE TO HEAVY WINDS

Another postponement today for all the teams on the Hauraki Gulf due to the adverse weather conditions. Already yesterday the strong winds forced the Race Committee to cancel racing due to the high winds. Today the teams left the dock on time but had to wait on the water until 2 pm when the Committee announced the postponement. An extended low pressure system is crossing the area and strong winds are forecasted also for the next few days. Weather permitting, racing will resume tomorrow with Flight 3 of Round Robin Two.
