Bad weather?
Prior to race day - details will be posted nearer to race day on how to proceed if you are concerned about the weather conditions

On race day - please take note of any announcements made by the Control Commission personnel in your area. We will aim to advise crews 2hrs before the Race start time (i.e before crews go afloat) if the start of the race is in question and will also give a time (likely to be within the hour) whether the race will proceed or be cancelled. If you are in any doubt about going afloat please ask.
