A day with string winds at the coast of Wales. Here is the take from our reporter at the scene at 1200 hours:

2 hrs postponement.  Forcast is bad 23kts gusting to 30; rescue boat has been out and over 2 minute period; average 21kts, gusting 29 -

It seems like the race committee is keen to have some races today as they have postponed for just two hours. Fortunately Mumbles Yacht club have a bar and other facilities where the competitors can rest while waiting. We all hope this will not be a repeat of last years GC blowout.
