Louis Vuitton Cup Final Day 2 Racing Abandoned Due to Light Winds
Racing was abandoned on Day 2 of the Louis Vuitton Cup Final due to light winds. INEOS Britannia was leading a race that was ultimately called off. The Brits faced challenging conditions but sailed well in the light airs. The race was eventually abandoned when it exceeded the time limit, leaving the score tied at 1-1 in the series.
Co-Helm Dylan Fletcher expressed frustration at not finishing the race but remained hopeful for better conditions in the future. Despite the difficulties, the team put in a great effort, with special mention to the Cyclors for their hard work. The aborted race saw INEOS Britannia holding a significant lead before time ran out.
The British boat managed to gain an early lead and maintain control throughout the race, but the light winds made sailing challenging. With the time limit approaching, the race had to be called off before completion.
Racing is set to resume on Sunday with expected improved conditions. Viewers in the UK can watch live on the Sail-World.com and YachtsandYachting.com homepages.
