After coming back from a rest day when there was a beautiful sailing breeze, there was no racing on what should have been the third day of racing in the prestigious event.

After rain cleared the winds were still too light for racing at Buzios, Brazil.

Race officials are now faced with having seven races to sail in just two days, with a likely shortened final day to accommodate the prizegiving and medal presentations.

Day 2 of racing was also lost due to very strong winds at the South American venue.
