AGAIN NO RACING TODAY DUE TO HIGH WINDS

The Race Committee announced this morning that all racing was abandoned for the day on the Hauraki Gulf, due to high winds.

They will try to race two flights tomorrow, Flights 3 and 4 of Round Robin Two, starting at 10:30.

The low pressure system that has dominated over the Auckland area in the last couple of days is finally moving off the coast but there are still strong winds from West South West.

The forecast for tomorrow calls for clear skies, sun and West South West winds at 15 to 25 knots.
