Weather Warning
Please be aware that the Bureau of Meteorology has issued a Strong
Wind Warning for today for Sydney Closed Waters.
The Race Committee and Sailing Office will monitor the weather
conditions throughout the day and competitors should ensure that their
VHF radio is on and tuned to channel 77.
Attention is drawn to RRS Fundamental Rule 4, which states - "The
responsibility for a boat's decision to participate in a race or to continue
racing is hers alone".
Weather Situation
A high pressure system over the western Tasman Sea extends a ridge
towards the New South Wales coast and is directing fresh to strong
northeasterly winds over most waters as a low pressure trough moves
into western New South Wales. This trough will move across to the east
today, maintaining northeasterly winds ahead of a gusty southerly
change which makes it to Sydney Closed waters during Wednesday
evening. The southerly will then move to the northern NSW coast on
Thursday as another high pressure ridge develops over the southern
Tasman Sea and winds over Sydney Closed Waters turn easterly.
Winds will again turn northeasterly on Friday and Saturday ahead of the
next change on Sunday.
Forecast for Wednesday until midnight
