The big low that has been almost stationary over our area, brought an abrupt end to the heat of summer. It also brought plenty of wind and rain. The "C" class competitors who have travelled far to race against one another have been grounded for the last two days. Tomorrow should bring lower winds followed by sun.
These boats have long been at the fringe of the yachting world. It is the recent America's Cup and the use of a wing mast by Oracle that has brought them out of the shadows.
