As a high pressure sits over Ireland the big question at tonight's Royal Cork celebration dinner for the All Ireland championships is what wind will there be for tomorrow's final?
After a second day of heats and with some racing postponed with light winds it is clear defending champion Nicholas O'Leary will be going through to tomorrow's final and a chance of a record breaking hat trick of wins in the event.
Just four knots of breeze showed for the first gun of the J80 fleet and although the sun was up the north east breeze kept shifting.
PRO for the J80 fleet, David O’Brien, got in two races for Flight 2. The third race was postponed and the race area was moved to the outer harbour at Ringabella Bay and Race 1 of Flight 3 was completed with a shortened course.
An attempt at a second race was abandoned when the wind shifted more into the west. However, on the second attempt having changed the course, a second race was completed in this Flight.
