Saturday, 15 March, DOHA (Qatar): For the second time in a week unpredictable weather conditions and gusting winds over Doha Bay have disrupted the racing programme, forcing race officials to cancel race 2 of the F-4S Trophy.

The decision means the overall win in Qatar is awarded to yesterday's winner Jesper Forss with Mike Szymura and Nikita Licjs completing the podium.

With the young Latvian Lijcs topping the time sheets and turning the tables on Forss in this morning's practice and qualifying sessions, and Szymura qualifying third, the scene was set for a thrilling three-way dice for the title, but as the boats motored out to the pontoon the wind that had been blowing on and off  all day picked up.

Race officials held them on the pontoon and delayed the start for 15 minutes to see if the winds would abate before having to take the decision to cancel the race.
