Early signs from Sligo this morning indicate it may be another non-sailing day at the Fireball World Championships. Currently there's no wind on Sligo Bay and a heavy drizzle. The forecast only 3knots from the north-west.
It's frustrating for the 120 sailors especially after yesterday's race three abandonment but also because the forecast for tomorrow (Wednesday) is good but that is the scheduled lay day of the event.
A 100% majority of competitors would be needed to agree to change it from lay-day to race day, according to regatta rules.
The forecast for Thursday and Friday is much more positive with moderate winds from the northwest.
