No Wind, no racing on Day 2 of J/24 World Championship

by Event media on 6 May 2009
Light air out of the north and a wicked tidal current conspired today to prevent racing in the 2009 J/24 World Championship, being sailed by a fleet of 79 teams out of Annapolis Yacht Club on the Chesapeake Bay.

'We never put a mark in the water today,' said Principal Race Officer Sandy Grosvenor. 'The wind got up near where it needed to be a couple of times, but there was no comfort factor, given we had a raging ebb tide. It was just a day to be patient and wait.'

Grosvenor said early forecasts for tomorrow are so widely varied it was hard to predict what Day 3 of the five-day regatta will bring.

'We'll try for three [races] again tomorrow, and hope for the best,' she said.
