The reserve day is being utilised at the Nanjing 2014 Youth Olympic Sailing Competition in a bid to catch up on lost races. But currently everyone is waiting for the wind to allow the races to get under way.
Light winds on the first three days of competition has resulted in the Techno 293 fleets being two races behind their schedule.
Racing was due to commence at 11:00 local time, if the wind plays ball, with the above races planned. The Byte CII fleets will take to Race Area A first with the Techno 293 fleets following upon the dinghies completing their single race.
The forecast doesn't look good for the day ahead with 3-4 knots from a northern direction predicted. It will be a challenge for the hard working race committees but the sailors are rigged and ready if the breeze fills in.
As it stands China's Linli Wu tops the billing in the Girl's Techno 293 with Russia's Maxim Tokarev atop of the pack in the boy's division.
