Too little wind, strong turns, strong winds - there are various reasons for postponements of the individual races, resulting in changes to the schedule.
In the meantime, teams and race organisers have been able to agree on the use of rest days. However, this does not mean that this will automatically happen after a postponement. Depending on their interests, a team could vote against it because, for example, the weather forecast suggests conditions that are theoretically unfavourable for a particular boat. Decisions are therefore made from day to day.
