Dear Ben, first of all: what is "essential" to you is not automatically essential for Sailing. The more: if you knew that this Cup was not sustainable to you, why did you launch the challenge? The America's Cup is 170 years old, and is not a boy game, neither a grand prix circuit, stop to compare the America's Cup with Formula 1. And finally: as olympic athlete and sports man, you should be aware with the rules, not be happy to change it during the game.
