Monohulls to return to America’s Cup for 2021 race
SAN DIEGO — Fast, foiling catamarans are out of the America’s Cup and monohulls are back in.
America’s Cup champion Emirates Team New Zealand confirmed Monday that it is working on designs for a “high-performance” single-hulled boat to be used in the 36th edition of sailing’s marquee regatta, in Auckland, New Zealand, in early 2021.
The Kiwis did not say whether the boats will have foils or canting keels. More details were promised at the end of the month.
