The designer of New Zealand-based syndicates' other Auld Mug triumphs wants a return to more traditional sailing when the 36th America's Cup is hosted here in 2021. "My specialty was designing a shape which would go through the water with the least resistance; these things [the AC50 catamarans] don't even touch the water. All that was left for individual teams to do was design systems of foils and how they were controlled. That again is not the old America's Cup where each country designed its own particular boat. Of one thing Davidson is certain: the regatta should be raced off the East Coast Bays on Auckland's North Shore.
