Racing postponed for the day at the Sailing World Cup Final

Racing has been postponed for the day at the Sailing World Cup Final presented by Land Rover in Melbourne, Australia.

Big breeze overnight, gusting up to 40 knots, continued through the morning and into the early part of the afternoon. With the conditions looking unlikely to change, a decision was made early in the afternoon to postpone the day’s activities.
