Just when it looked like we were finally getting going racing in the Louis Vuitton Cup ground to another halt.

The wind was a no show yesterday postponing racing again.

Given there is data to say this is not entirely unusual the question on everyone's lips is who on earth chose this venue?

Someone needs to explain? It is getting dire.

Yesterday one of the television commentators decided to look up the word 'calm' in the thesaurus.

Reading out the options, the last one listed was wind-less. And that folks sums up Valencia, the location of the 32nd America's Cup.

Given that we have only completed two flights in six days at this rate the round robin competition will not be completed until mid July.

The problem is the America's Cup starts on June 23.
