Less Wind and More Waiting – A Tough Day in Abu Dhabi

Less Wind and More Waiting – A Tough Day in Abu Dhabi

Another day of light winds has upset the schedule of the fourth and penultimate event of the 2014-2015 ASAF Youth Sailing Cup in Abu Dhabi.

Only two races could be completed for the Laser Radial, 4.7 and RS One fleets, whilst the Optimist sailors were able to complete only one race today.

The race committee worked hard to complete their program before the finals on Saturday. All sailors had to enjoy the sun and wait. "The wind did not increase in the way we hoped it would this morning, but we look forward to a better weather forecast tomorrow. It is very sad, especially for the Optimist, which have only sailed four race so far", said Mohammed Afendy, the PRO.
