VALENCIA, SPAIN
(Associated Press) -
The opening race of the 33rd America's Cup between two-time defending champion Alinghi of Switzerland and American challenger BMW Oracle Racing has been postponed due to unsteady wind.
The giant multihulls floated idly near the start line, some 15 miles off the coast if Valencia, Spain, for nearly four hours on Monday before the race was called off.
Officials will try again on Wednesday to get in Race 1 of the best-of-three series.
