The opening race of the women's Laser Radial (ILCA6) World Championships in Mussanah, Oman has been postponed due to lack of wind at the venue.
A fresh attempt to start the series will be made on Thursday to begin the qualification rounds for Gold and Silver fleets.
Ireland is represented by Aoife Hopkins and Sienna Wright of Howth Yacht Club. As Afloat reported earlier, Wright's older brother Rocco is competing in the men's division.
Hopkins will be aiming for a strong result to follow on Finn Lynch’s (National YC) silver medal at the Laser Men’s (ILCA7) World Championship and Sean Craig's World Masters fourth, both secured in Barcelona last month.
Up to 12 races can be scheduled with the provision to sail extra races daily when weather impacts the programme.
The final result is expected by lunchtime (Irish time) on Monday 6th December.
