While no official decision is announced, increasingly relevant rumours are that the next America's Cup should be run as a... monohull!
A brief reminder of the facts. In the America's Cup, the winner can organize the next event as he wishes. He has every right. This year it was the New Zealanders who won the event against the Americans holding the Cup.
After their victory (7-1), the Kiwis decided that the Cup would be held in the southern hemisphere in the winter of 2021 (the good weather period for them). It remained to be seen on which medium. Would he keep the AC50 flying catamarans or would they look for other ways?
Despite their supremacy over these flying machines and especially with their hamsters on board bicycles to ensure my boat's energy, the neo zed seem to have opted to relaunch the cut on monohulls.
The question is, on which boat? How big is it? With foils? These are questions that will be answered at the end of September 2017 when the new rules for the future America's Cup are published.
This decision does not please the Team France team, which sees its investment in this event reduced to nothing and whose small budgets do not facilitate the development of new platforms..
