    Course E again today and light wins like 6-10knots NE.

    Course A would be the best in these conditions

      Light winds may mean no racing at all today.

        @bovidae I came across the harbour bridge an hour ago and the flags were hanging on their poles. Zero wind.

          And this doesn't help either:

          β€œThere’s a very high percentage we won’t get any racing today. The prognosis going forward isn't a whole lot better the next couple of days,” Murray warned as a high pressure system envelopes the country.
          β€œWe will go out and try our hand on Course E. We could get a NNE coming down the channel. It’s just a tricky day, I’m afraid.”
          A return to level 1 also means Murray can use the β€œstadium course” that runs between North Head and Rangitoto Island through, frustratingly, it isn't a good option in very light winds.

                            Nah, TNZ was in a strong position in that pre-start before the postponement.

                            TNZ needs to use their port entry advantage in race 4, and win the start and protect the right side of the course.
