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? Well the protocols will be unveiled next month, so in the meantime, speculation continues.

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. It would be a bit of a shame to take a step backwards in terms of the speeds the boats can generate. I'm pretty sure we can come up with a rule that can keep pushing that forward', and he also wants a stronger nationality clause.
