Grant Dalton: Team New Zealand CEO on the new America's Cup rules - The Mike Hosking Breakfast

The newly announced America’s Cup rules are shaking up the competition. 

The confirmed protocol includes a requirement for a female sailor on board, batteries replacing manual power, the introduction of a cost cap, and a reduced number of sailors on board. 

It also outlines a new partnership between all teams, establishing equal authority among those involved. 

Team NZ CEO Grant Dalton told Mike Hosking it’s been a pretty torrid six months getting the changes across the line, but anything worth doing is not necessarily easy. 

He says people are focusing on the obvious changes, but the seismic shift will be the America’s Cup moving from a boom-bust cycle into a more even cycle.
