LONDON (Reuters) - The opening races of the America's Cup in Bermuda have been pushed back 24 hours until Saturday due to forecasts of winds above the limits allowed for some of the world's top crews to compete in their high-tech catamarans.
"Forecasts indicate that winds may gust over 30 knots during the afternoon and evening, so with the safety of the sailors and spectators as the key priority, ACEA and ACRM have decided to postpone Friday’s events," the America’s Cup Event Authority and America’s Cup Race Management said on the event website (www.americascup.com).
