Light winds persisted through the afternoon at the Rolex TP52 World Championship in Barcelona on Wednesday, meaning racing remained on hold until the race officer Maria Torrijo decided there was no option other than to display the AP over A flags and cancel for the day.

With the prospect of a positive change in the weather due for Thursday, the objective now is to try to run three races on Thursday and Friday and two on Saturday's final day.

As regular Afloat readers know, Dublin and Belfast sailors are in action in Barcelona.
