Luna Rossa first - without the element of surprise.

I think there’s a long way to go before Ineos need to worry about the logistics of holding the Americas Cup! Like how to get fake LandRovers from France to Chelsea, will Geraint Thomas ride the tour de France, is Lewis Hamilton going to settle for a one year deal, oh and how do we beat Emirates Team New Zealand!

I saw both the Portsmouth event and the Cowes event. Both locations, as race areas for spectators, are perfectly fine, though Cowes is of course, logisitically a little more complicated to get to.

Ineos won't leave their facilities in Portsmouth.
They'l structure the cup around what works in the Solent. I honestly didn't think it was too bad when I watched the world series in 2016 at Portsmouth

Saw the acws in Portsmouth from the water, with hundreds of other boats, and thousands watching from southsea seafront. Definitely worked as a venue.

I expect you are right about the Solent, but having seen the Americas Cup circus in Plymouth in 2011 and the Olympics in Weymouth from the Northern it would be nice to have it in some kind of natural arena where you can see what is going on in real life.
How about the Thames at Ranelagh? |

No space in Cowes for the team bases and way too narrow in the river. Any team bases would be in Portsmouth or Southampton/Hythe area if the sailing area is the Solent. Almost definitely the Solent due to the historical nature and origin of the race. As Ineos are already based there and have trained in Rita 1 there, it kinda makes sense.

Cowes would seem like the proper place?

I think Portsmouth might be a bit miffed if it went somewhere other than the Solent.
