The start of the second race of the 33rd America's Cup on Sunday between US side Oracle and defending champions Alinghi has been pushed back again in the hope that sailing conditions will improve, organisers said.
No new start time was given for the 39-mile triangle race off the coast of the Spanish port of Valencia. It was originally scheduled for 10 am (0900 GMT) but was pushed back for two hours.
Winds were almost non-existent at the start line and were blowing along the racecourse at speeds of between 3-6 knots but were forecast to shift south and build.

Alinghi are in a must win situation after their catamaran suffered a heavy loss in the opener - a 40-nautical-mile windward-leeward course - of the best-of-three series on Friday against Oracle's wing-sailed trimaran.
Race director Harold Bennett said it would be a bit easier to find suitable weather conditions in the race area for the second match since it consisted of three shorter legs.
"The triangle course, being only 13 miles to windward, is a little easier. You don't have to look for the 20 miles of beautiful breeze coming down," he said.
Oracle defeated Alinghi in the first race series on Friday by 15:28 minutes, the biggest winning margin since the 27th edition of the America's Cup in 1988 when the US catamaran Stars & Stripes defeated New Zealand's KZ1 monohull.
