Sail. America’s Cup: no wind, no regatta … – Sailing

The race committee was therefore forced to cancel the races due to the lack of wind. And the 1,300 spectator boats, gathered around the regatta area, had to return to port without witnessing the slightest confrontation. Just like the 53,000 people present in the village.

The regulations stipulate that the wind (note: measured on the committee boat at 8 meters high) must reach an average of 6.5 knots for five minutes before departure.

Fortunately, the forecast for the fifth day is promising with an east-northeast wind of 10-15 knots.
