With the winds blowing from the East at 26 km/h Comet Class Commodore Gladwin Lambert decided for the safety of the Sailors and the Boats to call off the Flag Pole to Flag Pole Race.
Lambert told www.islandstats.com, “It was difficult for us to get from the West End Sailboat Club into Hamilton and the wind just kept getting stronger and stronger so I spoke to the sailors and we decided to call it off and hold the race next week Sunday”.
