💨 Abstract

The America’s Cup sailing regatta announced significant changes, including a required at least one female crew member and at least two national crew members for each team. The event, happening every two years, will feature batteries powering most of the boat’s functions. The cost cap of 75 million Euros ($87 million) will help contain expenses, and all teams share governance responsibilities. The updates were widely welcomed, ending the previous contentious development process.
