UK - Sailing events cancelled ahead of snow and heavy rain

by Sail-world.com on 23 Mar 2013
UK Weather forecast Saturday morning 23 03 2013 SW
Miserable weather and now even more so or is that more snow.

A host of UK sailing events have been cancelled this weekend, because of the appalling weather forecast, with snow, heavy rain and strong winds variously across the weekend.

A combination of cold easterlies from Scandanavia and a westerly weather front bringing in heavy rain up to 60mm expected in some parts of the country combined to suggest that this was definitely not a weekend to go sailing.



Some of the many events cancelled or postponed include

Gul National 12 Series event at Burghfield Sailing Club
Supernova Open at West Oxfordshire
