The delay will be a relief to Emirates Team New Zealand, who spent all night repairing their catamaran and its "wing" sail after "pitch-poling" and capsizing during a race against Britain's Land Rover BAR on Tuesday.

The New Zealand crew lead the British team by three races to one in the first-to-five contest.

The other semi-final is being fought out between Sweden's Artemis Racing and SoftBank Team Japan who had also been scheduled to complete two races on Wednesday.

Japan is also leading Sweden by three races to one.
