The so-called "purists" want to see tacking duels all the way up the course, luffing each other until one chokes, etc. I say that Larry is more in touch with what the regatta was originally about: crazy spending on new technologies, and winning at any cost. I don't know that he intended it to end up this way (so few competitors), but that is essentially how it was before the 12-meter years.
Anyway, what idiot wastes their question in the presser asking something that they know won't be answered now, or at any other time until after the last race: Do you have an agreed protocol for the next one??? She needs her credentials revoked immediately...
