Louis Vuitton Cup Semi Finals-Day 7
Too much wind today! Up to 30 knots of wind and 2 meter waves. Conditions that broke apart oneAustralia in 1995 and Young America in 2000. These Cup rules this time set a maximum wind speed of 23 knots.
Some people are sad about this because they think the premier event in our sport should be able to race in 30 knots of wind. What a show that would be?
The forecast is not for a lot less tomorrow and with the sea already built up, it could be the sea more than the wind that is the problem tomorrow.
All this is playing into the hands of Luna Rossa who is already on their second day of rest while the other finalists has no idea when they will be done with this series.
