The first day of the Europeans was abandoned due to too little wind. As a high pressure systems moved over the islands, the wind has diminished including forecasts for the rest of the weekend.
The RC sent the fleet out and after a postponement, a brief increase in the wind to 5-6 knots allowed the race to start. But at the weather mark it had dropped to a dismal 3 knots and after the first lap, the race was abandoned. Above is a photo of race leaders Gustavo del Castillo & Felipe Llinares Pascual of Spain moments before the abandonment flag was flown.
Tomorrow we'll try again - keep your fingers crossed for a little more breeze.
