Pete Melvin, a designer with Emirates Team New Zealand in the last America’s Cup, and his firm Morrelli and Melvin, were commissioned by ORACLE TEAM USA (the Defender) and Team Australia (the Challenger of Record) to oversee the writing of the AC62 class rule.
I wonder if Oracle will retain M&M this time around or let them slip to New Zealand again (after paying them to write the boat rule!). That seemed like an odd risk for Oracle to take last time - and I think it almost cost them.
