18ft Capsize Time




Capsize time



The opening round of the N.S.W. 18ft Skiff Championship didn't quite go according to plan

Unpredictable wind conditions on Sydney Harbour forced the starter to delay the start of today’s Race 1 of the N.S.W. 18ft Skiff Championship for two hours.


When the forecast strong winds hadn’t arrived, the fleet prepared to start the race, which had then been set for a three-lap windward-return course.

As the teams lined up (all with their bigger #1 rigs) the winds finally arrived, causing most of the fleet to capsize and forced the starter to abandon the race.

A decision will now be made by the Race Committee on the possibility of a re-sail.
