Hate to say it but the wind forecast for the Heineken Regatta does not look ideal.
Friday is OK with winds above 10 knots.
Saturday hopefully still may be OK, but winds look like they will be diminishing.
Sunday forecast for 3 knot winds, many of these boats won't even move in a wind less than 10 knots (and turning on the engine is considered cheating), so unless the forecast changes, I don't think there will be much of a race on Sunday.
Don't shoot the messenger.

I remember a few Regattas ago there was no wind on Sunday. Kinda changed the outcome of the racing.

I was chatting with someone on the beach yesterday and we both said that with all the wind the past week or so, it would probably die down for Regatta!!

We were there one year when they canceled the Sunday races because there was absolutely no wind at all.

So that's what I get for believing a forecast too far in advance. They have completely changed it!
Winds now look good for the entire Regatta, including Sunday.
