Re: America\'s cup windspeeds.
I was waiting for the Louis Vuitton cup races to start today only to find out they had been cancelled yet again due to too much wind. It turns out that the wind limit is self imposed by the challenging syndicates to best duplicate the expected winds in february when the America's Cup will be raced, as october is a fairly boisterous month . After the recent spate of postponements some challengers had proposed upping the limit but this was defeated by a majority.
