A leading sailing pundit has laid out his bold predictions for 2021's America's Cup competitions, including a record-breaking victory to Team New Zealand.
British commentator Magnus Wheatley, posting on his Rule69blog website, believes the America's Cup will be the least competitive of all time with no challenger able to finish within even a minute of the home team.
"Easy one first – Team New Zealand will win the Cup by a record margin. It will be a blackwash and will be 7-0," Wheatley wrote in a lengthy article.
