Team New Zealand has unveiled its new monohull design for the 2012 America's cup.  This comes as the government and Auckland council continue to debate where the bases for the regatta will be placed on the city's crowded waterfront. It's still unclear whether a controversial expansion of the port will go ahead and, if it doesn't, what the alternative will be. We ask the panellists what they'd like to see happen.
