Either location will have a fair amount of light to moderate wind. I wonder if they will have to re-design the foil packages to cut drag in the non-foiling conditions? The A class deals with sailing in light wind with foilers already. Perhaps some trickle up will take place.
Seems like it could be any one's race. It will be tough for OR to keep the cup.
Also, won't it be tricky to have a base in Bermuda with a composites workshop for developing the boat? Hefty fedex bills ahead.
The good news for fans is the 45 racing in some windy venues, and the news that they will continue to race into the future after AC35.
