No further racing will be held in Round Robin 2 due to the conditions and time running out.
A formula will be applied to decide the other three semi-finalists, in addition to Ben Ainslie. The other three will be determined from: Jablonski, Minoprio, Mirsky, Pacé and Barker.
There will be no more racing for at least an hour now.
Ross Marwick - PRO for the Omega Auckland Match Racing: "With the noreaster coming through, Clouds [Roger Badham, ETNZ's weatherman] thinks that the southerly that was due to come through will go back to Manakau, and the noreaster will stay on the Waitemata.
"Racing will have to be under way before 2pm in order to run semis as well as the finals and petit-final, otherwise we will go straight to the finals and petit-final."
