33rd America's Cup : Racing abandoned for the day

Monday, 08 February 2010


Race One of the 33rd America's Cup Match was abandoned for the day on Monday afternoon.

With very light and shifty conditions prevailing over the race area, the Race Committee was unable to set a fair race course.

After waiting for nearly four hours, and moving the race course area in an effort to find more wind, shortly before 14:00 CET, Principal Race Officer Harold Bennett decided to abandon racing for the day.

Under the schedule of the 33rd America's Cup, the next race day is Wednesday, 10 February when racing is scheduled to start at 10:06 CET (04:06 EST, 01:06 PST).
