No Wind, no racing on Day 2 of J/24 World Championship

1:53 PM Wed 6 May 2009 GMT
Light air out of the north and a wicked tidal current conspired today to prevent racing in the 2009 J/24 World Championship, being sailed by a fleet of 79 teams out of Annapolis Yacht Club on the Chesapeake Bay.

'We never put a mark in the water today,' said Principal Race Officer Sandy Grosvenor. 'The wind got up near where it needed to be a couple of times, but there was no comfort factor, given we had a raging ebb tide. It was just a day to be patient and wait.'

Grosvenor said early forecasts for tomorrow are so widely varied it was hard to predict what Day 3 of the five-day regatta will bring.

'We'll try for three [races] again tomorrow, and hope for the best,' she said.

Provisional Results, after Day 1

1. Bruschetta, Mauricio Santa Cruz, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, 6-1 = 7
2. Bomba Charger, Anthony Kotoun, St. Thomas, USVI, 7-2 = 9
3. Three Bond, Tetsuya Matsunaga, Kanagawa, Japan, 12-3 = 15
4. Paraloc, Will Welles, Rhode Island, USA, 14-7 = 21
5. Carrera, Matias Pereira, Buenos Aires, Argentina, 8-14 = 22
