Possibly the biggest question is on the Dutch. This is because, at this point of time, this team could be called “fledgling”, although, it originates from one of the greatest sailing nations of the world and it is probably being supported by a group of sponsors, especially from the strong the industry of Dutch maritime.
The panel of arbitration has been called at one platform to take the decision on the matters that require some changes in rules — the papers that set all rules for the design, crewing, construction racing of the boats. For any change in set rules, the need for taking approval from the Challenger of Record is not much required, that is Luna Rossa from Italy. The will be activated only in the condition when the agreement cannot be reached.

“At the one end the defender of the cup obviously has the motivation for letting another the entry of another, Luna Rossa has an in the same way the obvious incentive to turn down.
