J/24 World Championship at Annapolis Yacht Club

J/24 World Championship at Annapolis Yacht Club - Day 2

by J/24 worlds media 6 May 2009 09:26 BST 30 April - 8 May 2009

No wind, no racing

Light air out of the north and a wicked tidal current conspired today to prevent racing in the 2009 J/24 World Championship, being sailed by a fleet of 79 teams out of Annapolis Yacht Club on the Chesapeake Bay.

"We never put a mark in the water today," said Principal Race Officer Sandy Grosvenor. "The wind got up near where it needed to be a couple of times, but there was no comfort factor, given we had a raging ebb tide. It was just a day to be patient and wait."

Grosvenor said early forecasts for tomorrow are so widely varied it was hard to predict what Day 3 of the five-day regatta will bring.

"We'll try for three [races] again tomorrow, and hope for the best," she said.
