2022 JJ Giltinan 18ft Skiff Championship -Race 3 Abandoned

18ft Skiff

The Race Committee for the 2022 JJ Giltinan 18ft Skiff Championship were forced to abandon Race 3 due to the gale force conditions being experienced on Sydney Harbour today.
One of the committee said that when the team were setting the start line they believed conditions were sailable but later the southerly winds were averaging 28 knots, with gusts up to 35 knots.
A decision will now have to be made regarding the upcoming race dates in the championship.
A few images, from near the intended start line, are attached.
