A postponement for the day on Juliet course meant only two of four matches were completed for Flight Five of Round Robin One in the Louis Vuitton Cup this afternoon.
The two delayed matches will be sailed at the end of Round Robin One.
Although two races went ahead on a less sheltered course, the crews found light and shifty winds, moving from the southeast at the start, to the north by the middle of the race. Shifts of up to 50-degrees on a leg weren't uncommon, and early in the racing, advantage lines moved with alarming frequency.
OneWorld Challenge jumped to the top of the leaderboard with its victory over Team Dennis Conner. The Seattle Yacht Club challenger remains undefeated after four matches. Conner's Stars & Stripes dropped its third consecutive match.
Equal on four points with OneWorld is Alinghi after a tough match with the GBR Challenge. But the Swiss entry has one loss on its scorecard and has yet to sit out its lay day.
The postponed races will take place in the gap between round robins one and two, with the US-based Oracle BMW racing against Sweden's Victory Challenge, and the Italian Prada Challenge against countrymen Mascalzone Latino.
