Emirates Team New Zealand were unable to seek revenge for their loss to Mascalzone Latino this morning with racing postponed again in the Louis Vuitton Cup.
After a four day wait flights one and two were finally sailed in Valencia on Friday night (NZT).
But in a cruel
twist the wind took another leave of absence today and racing was again postponed. Team New Zealand were to have raced +39 and Areva Challenge.
The change in format, which now sees the flights progress in consecutive order, means that those races have been rescheduled for tonight (NZT) where the forecast is looking equally as grim.
Emirates Team New Zealand tactician Terry Hutchinson said if anything, his side's loss to Mascalzone Latino on Friday night (NZT), proved that there are more than the perceived "big three teams" in the competition.
"You cannot discount the fact that all of these teams are good teams with good sailors on them and that when they are in front of you it is going to be a problem."
