Lake Traunsee remained as flat as a mirror today, reflecting a grey and stationary sky. The sailors stayed on land all day, waiting for some wind. However Principal Race Officer Peter Reggio had no other choice than to call the day off at 3:30pm.

Four teams are currently separated by three points in the overall ranking. The top teams show fairly high score averages and the fleet race remains open despite this cancellation.

Tomorrow's final races will prove interesting.

Fleet race, provisional results after four races

1) BMW ORACLE Racing, Larry Ellison, 1, 2, 8, 2 - 13 points
