Thursday's racing in the Louis Vuitton Pacific Series was delayed due to a lack of wind but is now underway
The teams, race officials and spectator craft spent the morning out on the water, waiting for the forecast light sea breeze.
Alinghi and Team Origin started the first gold fleet in the two BMW Oracle boats at 1.25pm.
One of the Team New Zealand boats is damaged and has
returned to shore for repairs to its forestay.
It is expected to return to the water but it will affect the
silver fleet races (K-Challenge vs Greek Challenge and Team
Shosholoza vs China Team) schedulesd for later on Thursday.
Team New Zealand faces the Italian Damiani Challenge and BMW Oracle
take on Luna Rossa in the other gold fleet races.
In round robin two, teams have been split into two groups - gold and silver.
