Due to uncertain weather and possible winds gusting over30knots we have reluctantly postponed the regatta to the August Bank Holiday after receiving assurances that this will be glorious sunshine with fair winds and fuel prices will be back to under a £1 per litre!

I think you may have got the wrong forecast Snoopy. Everyone I looked at says 15 knot max.

About us | Accessibility | Contact us | Freedom of Information | Help | Legal notices | Site map ©Crown copyright www.metoffice.gov.uk We had 5day forcast and with the fact that rain was forecast we took the view we would rather postpone and have the Regatta at a later date than have the risk of a wash out with people trying to have a good time with BBQs in the rain.We know the weather can change but our site is remote and access is not appreciated by owners if the track gets churned up. You have to make decisions with info at hand. Members were consulted and all agreed we should defer till August.Just means it will be bigger and better.

I have been watching the Met office 5 day forecasts for both Cardiff and Avonmouth since tuesday they have been forecasting gusts in excess of 30 mph for the weekend.
Its currently giving Gusts of 35 mph tommorow.
I think that the type of weather with relatively low average wind speed but with much stronger gusts is the worst for sailing.You never have the right amount of sail up.

I have been watching too and it is ok to go but potentially not a pleasant weekend so mission aborted. Any other great plans for the weekend?
