Murray on the prospects of another race today: "We are hopeful. We saw bits of 11 knots and down to 7 knots. The tactics at the start slowed the race down a lot. The breeze has averaged up and we have set another race to go in 30 minutes."

by Michael Brown 9/20/2013 9:02:38 PM
Murray: "The fog has cleared out to sea. Hoepfully we can get saw more breeze."

There will be half an hour until the start of the next race.

If it happens - the third attempt at race 13.

by Kris Shannon 9/20/2013 9:03:46 PM
We think the race needs to get underway before 9.40am or we will come back and do it all again tomorrow

There are some long faces aboard ETNZ. They were agonisingly close to clinching the America's Cup.

Winning this thing is like pulling teeth!!

The man behind this America's Cup will have a slight grin on his face. Not that anyone will be able to see it as Dana Johannsen found out. Check out her story here www.nzherald.co.nz

Chris Dickson: "Foiled by the fickle finger of fate." That's poetry

Thank goodness Oracle have used up their skip a race card already!

by Mtwelly 9/20/2013 9:06:39 PM
No we can't - yet...

Race 13 will be re-started at 9.32am NZT - Team NZ will still have port entry as it is still considered the first race of the day #AmCup

Did you see Spithall and his wee smile.. this just sucks!

by Veitchy on Sport via twitter 9/20/2013 9:08:01 PM
I think we need a sacrifice to the Wind Gods. Where's that Steven Joyce fella?

by Paul Lewis via twitter 9/20/2013 9:08:14 PM
Port entry didn't do much good for ETNZ earlier this morning, with the variable conditions negating the advantage.

by Kris Shannon 9/20/2013 9:08:28 PM
Commentators over here "NZ we are very sorry that this is happening to you" That's just not bloody fair.

Ray Davies said the abandonment is "a bit of a shame" #understatement #AmericasCup

by Dana Johannsen via twitter 9/20/2013 9:08:30 PM
That was utterly devastating, lets regroup have breakfast and be ready for the next race.

"We just have to get on with it - but the positive thing is that we are sailing well" - Ray Davies, with a smile...he's a great ad for Kiwis

Test of strength for Dean & team, Kia Kaha! Matter of when, not if ..

by Teik Ee from Penang 9/20/2013 9:10:56 PM
I used to windsurf on the Bay all the time - if the fog peels back there will wind but the temperature has dropped a bit which means maybe not as much. You gys will win, take a deep breath and enjoy it!

by Californian 9/20/2013 9:11:04 PM
Yes we can and yes we will!!! The cup is less than 90 minutes away!!!

by terry777 9/20/2013 9:11:17 PM
Leading three times and races abandoned, how good are these guys! The suspense is killing us! Have those red socks on. Go ETNZ.

Would there be this level of outrage if oracle were in front? #AmericasCup

by chewittnz via twitter 9/20/2013 9:12:27 PM
What the cup. I'm guessing the clock was donated by tag huer, the official sponsor of oracle... That was 100% not okay! #americascup

To paraphrase a joke from 1983 - #ETNZ rules the waves, America waives the rules. #AmericasCup

by k2rm via twitter 9/20/2013 9:12:56 PM
Disappointing the committee didn't have the understanding of the course to know that there wasn't enough wind to get them round #AmericasCup

The most entertaining thing about #AmericasCup is watching how fired up everyone gets about it. It’s excellent!

Dr Evil gives race committee one trillion dollars with a note attached: "Throw me a frickin' bone here!"

ETNZ didn't want the max wind rule changed, they'll have to accept this rule too. C'mon Kiwis, better late than never. Didn't they look a great team in the light winds though

Hard to complain about rules when you had no idea about them less than a month ago. It is what it is. #AmerciasCup
