Everybody has an opinion on what ETNZ should have the 36th America's Cup look like. Just ask them and they will tell you, but what does Peter Burling have to say about it all after holding the Auld Mug aloft not that long ago?

Burling is clear, however. No monohulls for him. He wants them to be quick and advance the event. On air in New Zealand after the close of the moth World Championship at Lake Garda he said, 'I'm happy as long as it goes fast.
