There was no racing on day three of the Wingfoil Racing World Cup Italy in Cagliari.
The race committee waited as long as they could before they blew the horn in the light drizzle and abandoned racing for the day.
Now the heat is on to complete the opening series for both women’s and men’s fleets so Sunday’s final medal series group can be determined.
As it stands, the three groups in the men’s fleet have three races planed before the final series where they are split into gold, silver and bronze fleets and sail five more races on Saturday.
But before then, riders will be razor focused on getting into the top 20 gold fleet where they will have a shot at qualifying for the medal series.
Three races are also planned for the women Saturday morning, but they will continue as one fleet in the afternoon to finish out their opening series.
By the end of Saturday, riders in positions one through nine in the women’s fleet and men’s gold fleet will have a ticket to the medal rounds.
The remaining competitors will race off first thing on Sunday, for the Golden Ticket. One race, one last chance for one woman and one man to get into the medals series.
With strong winds forecasted for Saturday, riders will have plenty of opportunities to make their way into Sunday’s medal series.
