They may not have lost any days during the test events, but so far in the actual regatta (where it counts in front of the world) we've had racing so exciting they took the p*ss out of it on mock the week and it looks like potentially another day lost today, giving us a total of 2 so far. 

Who said this was an ok venue?
I might be sailing it, but it's still sh**e!

cancellation will work in our Ben/Sarah's-Pippa's favour, you can be a lot more relaxed sitting in the boat park in the lead than you could if you are chasing...

guessing the Laser, 49er and RSX sailors would have prefered to race today, but if there's more breeze coming in the next 1-2 days it could also be good for them to hang on.
