| After a week of high
temperatures in excess of 38 degrees C or 100 degrees F, a strong
southerly wind hit Sydney Harbour just prior to the scheduled start
time of the Commodore Cup 18ft Skiff race. Gusts in excess of 30
knots made conditions far too dangerous for the safety of the fleet
and the race officer was forced to abandon. |

The next event for the Australian 18 Footers League will be sailed on Friday (6pm) when the club will conduct the annual Twilight Race. And Race 12 of the Club Championship and the Winning Appliances Trophy will be sailed next Sunday at 2.30pm.
A spectator ferry will follow both races, leaving Double Bay Public Wharf (alongside the clubhouse), 30 minutes prior to the start of each race.
