I love these boats. I hope they keep this rule for a long time.

Next series should be universal rule J class boats, but with foils* and no luxury interior requirements

*foil size determined as a fraction of L/D

So does this mean two more years of flying boat treachery

Latest rumor is that Emerates Airlines isn't going to be funding things next round, and unless NZ government steps in, it's headed to portsmouth uk

Would have loved to see America's Cup battled out in China though

That said I'm much more likely to fly to UK to see the next america's cup than either NZ or China

America’s Cup comes from its history, and those chapters are kept alive by the continued presence of those yachts that once fought for the trophy. With over 90 built, the 12 Metre Class rings the bell loudest, and has endured long after its America’s Cup era from 1958 to 1987.

At least a dozen of the Vintage 12mR yachts are expected to arrive on their own keels from Germany, Denmark, and Sweden

will depart in mid-July for the journey of more than 1300 nautical mile

I honestly wonder if something like a factory stock catalina 27 is more seaworthy than the latest batch of america's cup contenders
