Lack of wind on the third day of the Finn Gold Cup in Melbourne, Australia, meant all racing was cancelled mid-afternoon on Wednesday.
New Zealand’s Josh Junior holds a 14-point lead after four races from Croatia’s Nenad Bugarin. Andy Maloney, from New Zealand, is one point behind Bugarin.
Britain’s Giles Scott is in fifth place.
Melbourne turned on the heaters on Wednesday, reaching 40 degrees by the afternoon.
There were successive postponements as the sailors sought shelter out of the heat in the great facilities of the Royal Brighton Yacht Club.
Some found iced refreshments by the beach and some went swimming, but the wind did not come. At 15.00 AP over A was raised to abandon for the day.
Three races are now scheduled for Thursday.
The 10 race opening series continues until Friday, with the final race and medal race scheduled for Saturday 21 December.
