No More Cyclors for the next America's Cup

Grant Dalton & Peter Burling
Grant Dalton has confirmed the 36th America's Cup will return to the traditional arm grinders "The grinders will return," Dalton told Italy's La Stampa newspaper", this will put a larger focus on the sailing team winning match races and not as much emphasis will be put on how much oil a crew can make like in Bermuda. Dalton also added that the conditions in Auckland is choppy compared to Bermuda and wouldn't be ideal for catamaran sailing. 

 TNZ are set to release their plans for the regatta next week, but the final design rules are not expected until Nov. 30.

New York Yacht Club will Challenge for the 36th America's Cup

After long time away from the biggest sailing competition, the New York Yacht Club, represented by Bella Mente Quantum Racing Association, will challenge for the 36th America's Cup. The New York Yacht Club held the America's Cup trophy from 1851 to 1983 when it was lost to Australia II.  The last time NYYC challenged for the cup was with Team Dennis Conner for the 2002-'03 America's Cup. The challenging syndicate will be led by two of the most successful American yachtsmen of the last decade: John J. "Hap" Fauth and Doug DeVos.  The entries for the 36th America's Cup officially open on January 1st 2018 which we are also expected to see Ben Ainslie Racing (BAR) and still waiting on confirmation that there could be teams from Australia, France, Swizterland and another American challenger but time will tell if there are more challengers than the 35th America's Cup.
