The storm forces the cancellation of the first stage of the Copa del América in Vilanova

The first regatta of the America's Cup, which was to be held this Friday in Vilanova i la Geltrú, has been canceled due to adverse weather conditions, as announced by the organization. The first of the three stages has begun, although somewhat later than planned, but finally the organization has forced the boats to return to port.

It is expected that the programming of the first stage will be held tomorrow, Saturday, when an improvement in the storm is expected. Despite everything, Vilanova i la Geltrú has been fully experiencing the preliminary regattas of the 37th edition of the America's Cup since yesterday, with expectation and great security measures by land, sea and air.
