The Olympic yachting schedule has at least one reserve day for each of the 10 divisions, meaning there are backup days in case of bad weather, which certainly has been the case lately. If every day had been sunny and windy, today otherwise would have been a day off for the windsurfers.
Thunderstorms are likely almost every day, however, and reserve days can be rained out as well.
In that case, the sailors won't get as many races in. That could affect the final score but should not cancel the whole event. Boats need to sail at least four races to discard their worst race from their overall scores, and at least nine races to discard the worst two results.
