I've sailed 50 years and high performance multihulls the last 20. I'd never go back. I'm not a huge fan of the Americas Cup and even I would prefer match racing to be in slow equally matched monos. Even the world match racing circuit is now in foiling cats which is weird. I'd rather see a NZ entry in the VOR than the Americas Cup
My particular beef with the Sydney Hobart is that they are practically the only major yacht race that doesn't allow multis. They pander to the billionaires with their maxi monos which are slow and no more robust than the multis they exclude.
The ORMA 60's, Mod70's and Open Multis of France are amazing machines, as are the crews that sail them. If they raced the Sydney Hobart, they would show the mono's up just like they do in the Atlantic.
