Friday's jet boating events cancelled at Balclutha
The Jet Boating New Zealand circuit races have been cancelled at Balclutha because of high winds.
Competitors could not race in conditions when there was a high risk of boats flipping, Otago branch spokesman Fraser Morrison, of Stirling said.
The 50 kilometre circuit races were to have been held Friday morning on the Clutha River.
The Otago Rivers Jet Boat race which was to be held on Friday afternoon will not start at Balclutha as scheduled.
Instead, it was hoped it would begin at Clydevale, about 20 minutes away at 2pm, where there was more shelter and would race to Roxburgh if conditions allowed.
Circuit and river racing is to continue at Glenorchy on Saturday and Wanaka on Sunday.
