Tornado World Championship 2002 - No racing at 4th day of Tornado Worlds |
MARBLEHEAD, MA-(27-9-2002) No races were started today. After three solid days of racing in northerly breezes, the remnants of tropical storm Isadore approached Martha's Vineyard. The early morning northerly reached 15 knots, but by 1130 hours it had diminished to 8 knots and before a starting sequence could be started, the breeze collapsed to 4 knots. The fleet was sent back to shore to await the arrival of the advancing warm front and a southerly breeze. The warm front did not arrive during daylight hours... and neither did the southerly breeze.
The front should move through the region overnight, and the final day of the Championship will be held in windy northwesterly conditions. Everyone is hoping to complete two final day races, but the morning will tell whether conditions will be within the 25 knot wind limit.
