I might sound like someone totally unrelated to this circus, but the whole thing with needing to be at the venue upfront is surely a non starter for cork as it's just a summer option (NH summer, no SH summer clause in here!!).
so everyone would go to cork. sail around for a few months (making sure not to come within 400m of each other). and then piss off somewhere else when the weather goes crap. doesn't sound like a cost reducing decision for challengers
current weather for the 3 potential venues
Fiji Bitter
I love Fiji Bitter
All good weather in my book, although in Fiji we prefer a proper cyclone to go foiling.
You moaners are going on and on like abused kids, get a life for fuck sake.

Newsflash, sailing in IRL and GBR is not a summer-only pastime.

From the link, does this suggest negotiations would only start at the end of March, should they decide to enter into negotiations by then?
But the clock is ticking with a decision from the state due on whether it wants to proceed with the bid, and move to final contract negotiations with the race organisers, expected by the end of March.
Am not seeing anything new in the article except for the 'technical team' visit. Who is that, a Cork County City/Council thing? And this suggests they do not yet have the Sports Minister onboard.
Political support for the event is also building, with Cork County Council recently agreeing to write to TDs and the sports minister, Catherine Martin, seeking her support to secure the bid for Ireland.
At least something is going on, I guess... at the Cork County Council level anyway.

Don't count Cork out! That Rule you gave there can be amended. Every AC Protocol has been amended in the built up to the competition. If Dalton deems Cork suitable that Boat Rule will be amended together with INEOS!

Agree, big cost-waster for the Challengers but it's presumably 'part of the deal' GD is trying to cut with Cork. The teams would likely ship off to the Med soon as they can after that Sep date, maybe to places like Cagliari as what Ineos did last time; that or launch the new AC75's later (avoid Cork in '23) and use LEQ12's and such at alternate locations instead during that 4-month '23/Cork time window.
