The Cowes Week race committee has reached a decision that, given the Met Office yellow wind warning in force for the south coast, no racing will be possible Wednesday and therefore racing for all classes has been abandoned.
Thursday, looks a much better day for boat racing, and organisers are expecting to get the full schedule of racing underway for all classes.
Celebrations started early Tuesday when competitors were greeted with classic Cowes Week conditions of sunshine and winds ranging from 18-22kts, which led to another bracing day on the water.
It was also Women’s Day, which as always at Cowes Week, was well supported with female teams competing across most fleets.
