America's cup - Waves sign off race until Friday
It was the lumpy, contrary swell left over from last night’s strong northerly winds which led to the postponement of Race 1 of the 33rd America’s Cup today, the second time that racing has been adversely affected by an unsettled weather or sea situation off Valencia.
The first match of the regatta is now scheduled for Friday 12th February with a start sequence pencilled for 1000hrs. An initial postponement period, signalled last night (Tuesday), extended through this morning with the giant catamaran Alinghi 5 of the Swiss team Alinghi, the holders of the America’s Cup, and the trimaran USA, of the challenger, the American BMW ORACLE Racing Team, both remaining in their respective dock areas.
