April 16, 2011 - All sailboat races scheduled for today as part of Charleston Race Week have been canceled. Race Director Randy Draftz made the decision this morning not to send the sailors out after conferring with the Coast Guard regarding both the offshore and inshore conditions.

Conditions offshore were expected to be 30 mph winds and seas from 6 to 9 feet. Inshore, the winds are expected to build similarly in strength and the harbor is apt to be very choppy during the ebbing tide.

Plans are to resume racing on Sunday. Check back here for updates.
