Race 1 postponed by weather

Italy's Prada and San Francisco's AmericaOne were supposed to take to the water Tuesday (Monday in the U.S.) to sail the first race in the best-of-9 Louis Vuitton Cup finals. But harsh weather in the Hauraki Gulf forced a postponement, meaning the Louis Vuitton Cup final likely will get under way Wednesday. The winner will meet host Team New Zealand for the America's Cup. ESPN's Gary Jobson says AmericaOne has a slight edge, but expects fierce racing because of the history between members of both crews.
