On Sunday morning, the event organisers
announced a change to the schedule for the Louis
Vuitton Cup.
"A stretch of unusual weather has forced the
cancellation of five out of six days of racing over
the past week," said Michel Bonnefous, the
CEO or AC Management. "As a consequence of
this situation and following consultation with the
Challenger Commission, AC Management, as the sole
event authority to the 32nd America’s Cup and Louis
Vuitton Cup, has decided to modify the competition
for Round Robin One and Round Robin Two of the Louis
Vuitton Cup."
The changes mean that there will be no ‘off day’
between Round Robin One and Round Robin Two. All
full flights of racing will be sailed in order,
with partial flights scheduled on the end. There
are two reserve days (May 8 and May 9) at the end
of Round Robin Two.
If needed, Round Robin Two may include two races
per day. The date of the start of the Semi Finals
is unchanged, with racing scheduled to begin on
May 14.
