A lack of wind meant that no racing was possible on day four of the 2014 European Laser Standard and Laser Radial Championships, featuring six New Zealand sailors, on now in Split, Croatia.

Today’s official report says; “The fleet spent five hours on water, but the conditions were not fit for racing. There was one start attempt for lasers gold and silver, they made it to the top mark and that was it. So the results remain the same, two more days to go.”
Racing resumes in Split tomorrow and runs for another two days with the titles set to be decided and medals presented on Saturday 14th June.
