Tuesday was never going to happen for the Laser competitors down at Weymouth with Storm Francis arriving on schedule.
Day 2 of the UKLA National Championships at WPNSA duly quarantined the fleets with the gale hitting over 40 knots and gusts upto 50 knots.
Storm Francis is expected to clear to the East of the UK by Wednesday lunchtime, leaving a brighter and more settled outlook.
So it looks like the standard and 4.7 Laser fleets will get to complete their championships on Wednesday.
And then the second half of the week (27-29 August) will see 100 ILCA 6 (Radial rig) Lasers racing.
Meanwhile just to remind you the leaders are . . .
