I don't care if it was in hovercrafts propelled by the some James Cameron voodoo magic sails - if its not going to be a true competition (in other words, hip pocket challengers) then its not worth being considered a "sporting event".

Whether it returns to monohulls or not - it DEFINITELY needs to be returned to the stature of a legitimate COMPETITION- something it will never accomplish if EB has his way with it.
