No wind and fog were the order of the day for the competitors at the Snipe Western Hemisphere & Asia Championship.
Postponed onshore for no wind, the sailors waited anxiously for the wind to fill, but the day was called once the fog rolled in, not bringing any wind with it.
With 3 races completed, the Championship is valid, but all competitors are hoping for more wind to sail at least the last 2 days of the schedule.
The WHA serves as a country qualifier for 2 nations for the Pan Am Games to be sailed in these same waters October 25-Nov 5, 2023. The Snipe is a mixed dinghy for the Pan Am Games with 21 of the teams registered as mixed.
Racing continues on Friday with 2 races scheduled per day, although 3 can be held to make up for the missed races, with the final day on Saturday, March 18.
The regatta can be followed on the Championship website, wha.snipechampionships.org for results and additional information.
