There was no racing today at the Gul Fireball Worlds. The Race Officer held the fleet ashore as there was no wind in the proposed race area. He went afloat in a rib to assess the wind and recorded speeds of less than 2 knots.

When the Race Committee went afloat the wind strength did not reach the minimum requirement set by the RO. It flickered above the 5knot minimum briefly but never developed across the course.

N over A was signalled at 16:15.
