#mothworlds – Race officials were forced to abandon racing on day four of the McDougall + McConaghy 2015 International Moth World Championship being hosted by the Sorrento Sailing Couta Boat Club (SSCBC) at Sorrento in Victoria because of strond winds at the venue, the first stong winds the worlds fleet has had since Lake Garda, three years ago.
At a meeting with Moth competitors this morning, Event Director, Peter Osbourne (from the SSCBC) asked for a show of hands for racing. Most in the Gold fleet elected for racing. All but a couple in the Silver fleet voted against.
Officials asked competitors to stay ashore while they waited for visibility to improve, along with the general conditions, including pouring rain and blustery conditions.
Day 2 also brought about some strong winds and action packed racing. Ireland's Annalise Murphy features in the above vid.
