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.
Team New Zealand (TNZ) used the 'cyclors' -- grinders who sat on upright bike stations and used their legs rather than arms -- to generate the hydraulic power needed to sail the foiling catamarans in Bermuda to win sport's oldest trophy off Oracle Team USA in June.
