And if they do go back to Monohulls, nobody's going to watch it...again.
That's not true. Foiling 72's were a novelty to the non sailing public and I doubt we'll see the same interest from that demographic. Wasn't the most commerically successful cup in 2007 on monohulls? Someone had to be watching the monohulls with interest. The non sailing public is never going to have any interst in watching sailing until it is dumbed down to the point that the Kanye and Kim groopies can follow it. Throwing in a sex tape wouldn't hurt either.
I'd watch the cup series if they did it on TP52's as long as they did it somewhere with wind and waves! Fremantle comes time mind for some reason.
I do agree with you though, it's an event for the .01%er's and always has been and they couldn't give two sh!ts about a viewing audience.
Where are all the new beachcat sailors this last cup was supposed to deliver to our regattas?
