Forecast looks crap, it might improve...

15 knots might be enough for a reduced but competitive field of kiters but probably not for the poleys. As it's a poley race first and foremost it might ultimately get held off until Sunday for that reason.

There's pretty much no chance they will make a decision early if something of a seabreeze is forecast, they will progress on the basis the race will go ahead at the preferred start time if there is enough wind. If there isn't then they will delay it an hour or two to see if the breeze comes in late. It's a fluid process, they want to run the race as early as possible in the day but also want enough wind so everyone kills it on the water. They won't want it run too late in the afternoon as they can't have the tail enders coming in too late and worst case start a search for anyone missing as dusk approaches.

They will keep delaying it on Saturday afternoon then when they get to that cut-off time then they will reschedule to Sunday.

Thanks Dusta, I couldn't remember the cut-off time. I think some of the tail-enders take about 3 hours? which leaves only 2 hours of daylight to account for every competitor, search for anyone stuck out there and get all the boats and volunteers back in.

I did it on my 8m and tiny twin tip as my other bigger kite bladders decided to pack it in on the day

Had to work for it but still no dramas
