WELLINGTON (Reuters) - The next America's Cup regatta in 2021 will see a return to traditional arm-grinders, ending the use of cycling-style stations, Team New Zealand boss Grant Dalton has said. "The grinders will return," Dalton told Italy's La Stampa newspaper on Tuesday when asked if the cyclors would feature on the new class of yachts for the 36th America's Cup. Dalton said the conditions on Auckland's Waitemata Harbour were not conducive to sailing the catamarans. "But I want it to be clear that winning the America's Cup is a privilege, a privilege that includes the duty to safeguard it's sporting value." TNZ are set to release their plans for the regatta next week, but the final design rules are not expected until Nov. 30.
