America’s Cup officially leaves Valencia

After two editions and several years of being the city to visit for sailing fans around the globe, Valencia will not host the 34th edition of the America’s Cup.  

Title holders BMW Oracle have announced that the regional capital had been crossed off the list of candidates to hold the international sailing regatta in 2013.

San Francisco (USA) is now the clear favourite,  along with an unnamed Italian city who are now the sole two competitors for the rights to host the contest in three years’ time.
