There’s been plenty of speculation over recent months about what is going to be in the protocol document for the 38th America’s Cup. There have even been – according to various sailing media channels – leaked draft versions reportedly doing the rounds. The truth is, though, that only a very select group are fully aware of what the final version is going to contain – and it will likely stay that way until the Defender, Emirates Team New Zealand releases it publicly – hopefully in just a few weeks’ time.
Until that happy day, however, we are all free to speculate as to what we think should be in the AC38 Protocol. What changes would we like to see made to the Protocol used for the 37th America’s Cup in Barcelona in the late summer / early autumn of last year? I imagine it’s not likely to influence the final outcome much, but, for what it’s worth, here are my suggested improvements for the 38th America’s Cup.
