M Its looking as though the only possibility there is some Aussies but everyone else is most likely to be watching on international media. Probably the best outcome is that Team NZ retain the cup and rehost again in a relatively short period ie 2 years -hopefully by then the shambolic state of affairs that is currently downtown Auckland may not be so embarrassing!

Romany 60 Posted October 6 Report Share Posted October 6 I like that as a notion - but I'd add, all boats in a 'parc ferme' situation in NZ for the interim period. No alterations permitted, or if there are, every team is able to review/redesign a common component of the COR's choosing (i.e calling all teams calling all teams, there's a window of 8 weeks and you may alter your appendage/control system/thing-a- me whats it. Go for it and then submit design to ensure measurement is compliant) then it all gets wrapped up again. And, come back again next winter for 12 weeks training, then hold another early summer pre regatta. say Nov 2021 followed by the LV Cup in Feb(they still involved? I dunno but you know what I mean) then the match late March 22. Dreams are free huh. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
