The news was sung after the unsuccessful experience of competing in the last edition in flying catamars in Bermuda waters... once the stakeholders were consulted by the defender, Team New Zealand, has made the decision to return to the monocascos on the next meeting with the American Cup at stake.

The headquarters is probably the Bay of Auckland in 2021... in the statement of the New Zealanders it is confirmed that "there is currently a team of designers, led by the design coordinator of Emirates Team New Zealand, Dan Bernasconi, who work on several concepts of extreme monocascos that will finally help shape the AC36 Class Rule... Emirates Team New Zealand has been consulting with a number of potential challenges and there is a general desire to have a spectacular boat that will be exciting to support the race, but also one that the public and the regatists can relate as a sailing ship that really challenges a series of professional ships around the race field."
