After yesterday’s still weather during the mid-afternoon, and the hours of delays this caused, finally reaching a crescendo in the evening with very high winds and disturbed sea state during the Youth America’s Cup races – today we are in danger of similar outcomes. The wind is forecasted to be around 5 to 6 kn, but the sea state disturbance which makes foiling so hard will be very choppy, forecast to be between 1 m and 1.5 meters through the race windows today. Thats not good for the AC40’s in particular.
Today in Barcelona we have a very busy day of racing, from 10:30pm (12:30CET) the the Youth America’s Cup will race, we are due for a service today, two from group A which is made up of the countries who are competing in the core Americas cup, and group B will also have two races -that group is made up of invited countries from around the world.
We also have up to 4 races in the America’s Cup semifinals, we are currently on match point in both of the groups with a loss from either American Magic or Alinghimeaning these teams will be instantly evicted from the 2024 America’s Cup Regatta.
