The final day of the Youth Olympic Sailing Competition will be a waiting game for the 101 sailors from 62 nations with little breeze on Jinniu Lake.
The Opening Series has concluded and a non discardable, single race for all fleets will bring the YOG Sailing Competition to a close. At 11:00 local time the fleets were under postponement with minimal breeze on Race Area A, where the final races will be sailed.
Predictions show around 4 knots of north eastern breeze on Lake Jinniu but that's far from the case with the water resembling a pane of glass.
If racing commences the Girl's Byte CII fleet will be up first followed by the Boy's Byte CII, Boy's Techno 293 and Girl's Techno 293.
Gold, silver and bronze are to be decided in the Girl's and Boy's Techno 293 and if no racing is possible on Saturday 23 August then Sunday 24 August will be used to complete the racing. The forecast for Sunday looks promising with 3-7 knots of south east breeze on the cards with moderate to heavy rain.
