Racing unlikely today

I'll keep you posted as the morning progresses as to any official announcement about the state of racing. Both boats are keen to fit in at least one race - but we'll see.

Team New Zealand, of course, need just two wins to claim the America's Cup, which could happen this morning, weather permitting. Oracle still need eight.

The long-range forecast shows the high winds dropping off later in the week so we could have a result by the weekend.

They've already had spikes over the wind limit in San Francisco today, but both boats are out on the water having a casual Tuesday afternoon sail.

Racing should get underway in 10-15 minutes but still no official word on the chances. Organisers are hoping winds drop enough to squeeze in at least one race.

It may be beautiful but currently looking a bit too windy out on the water.

I hope, for the sake of those around you, we wrap this up sooner rather than later.

Still no official word so, at this stage, we're planning on it going ahead.

If not, we'll keep you updated. Chris Dickson wouldn't bank on racing but we will see.

Even if the race gets underway, it could very well be called off midway through.
