The fleet headed out in what looked like a promising breeze, but once at the race area, it proved light and shifty.

After a few hours of waiting and an attempted start sequence, the class rep and the race committee agreed the conditions just weren't stable enough for fair racing. With AP over A hoisted, the fleet headed back ashore.

A short limerick by David Smart sums up the day...

There were sailors galore at Mounts Bay
Looking forward to a glorious day
But the wind didn't blow
The flags didn't show
But Duncan was sung Happy Birthday

Four races are now planned for Friday, assuming the wind plays ball!
