Racing was abandoned for the day at the 2026 Star World Championship Presented by Schoonmaker as a lack of wind on Biscayne Bay prevented Race 5 from getting underway.
The Principal Race Officer (PRO) initially held the fleet ashore under a one-hour postponement before sending competitors out onto the water. However, after waiting a further 30 minutes for suitable conditions to develop, officials opted to abandon racing for the day, with a forecast of passing rainstorms further diminishing the slim chances of the breeze filling in.
With no racing completed, the overall standings remain unchanged heading into the final day of the regatta.
Italian duo Diego Negri and Sergio Lambertenghi continue to lead the fleet on 35 points, holding a narrow three-point advantage over their closest challengers. Americans Will Stout and Danny Cayard sit level on 38 points alongside Eivind Melleby (Norway) and Christian Nehammer (Austria).
Further down the leaderboard, Bermudian Olympian Peter Bromby and his Bahamian crew Myles Pritchard remain firmly inside the top 10 in seventh place overall.
The championship now heads into its final scheduled day on Saturday, November 14th, with two races remaining and the coveted Gold Star very much up for grabs. Racing is scheduled to get underway at 11:00 am local time.
