The nationality rules are slowing changing. For 2021 in New Zealand the
rules dictate:
Twenty percent or three crew, whichever is higher, must be citizens of
the country of the competing yacht club. The remainder of the crew can
be made up of residents of the challenging yacht club’s country which is
defined by being physically present in that country for a minimum of 380
days over a two year period, between 1 September 2018 and 31 August 2020.

I have to go with Chuck on this one. I agree that innovation only
comes from racing and I wish that we required the boats to have native
crews.
