While the America's Cup has now entered a phase of tranquility with some boats literally "hibernating" in Valencia's Port America's Cup, an unfortunate glitch in the canal construction may slow down the rapid pace witnessed so far.

Apparently, a crack in the canal that will connect Port America's Cup with the race course resulted in seawater entering the dry area, ahead of schedule of course.

Although, as seen from the photos below, the situation is not as dramatic as it could first appear, works will considerably slow down. Let's hope that all will be ready by next May in order to experience the best America's Cup racing ever.
