Tom Ehman is with the America's Cup staff and he said reducing wind speeds will increase safety. 
"It had been 33 knots, call it 35 miles per hour, we'd been running races up to that speed in September. That's been reduced to 23 knots or 25 miles per hour," he said.
Winds were between 25 and 35 mph when Simpson was killed. With the new recommendations sailors with be onshore if winds are that strong.
America's Cup officials say with the investigation into Simpson's death still under way it's too early to tell if any of the safety recommendations would have saved his life.
