At 7:51 PM, said...dream on, Ramon
At 7:52 PM, said...7:44 PM Until A5 is tested in winds over 10kts & it's sea state, the rest of the world will wait until then.
At 7:55 PM, said...Can't wait to see the rules. I suggest the helmsman should be the owner of the syndicate and anyone with plastic surgery is banned. No Knights of the realm either.
At 8:55 PM, said...Possibly it becomes clear now why it is called America's Cup. The american supreme court thinks the cup belongs to the american supreme court and nobody else. Next time just avoid any legal crap, the joke has gone too far. Way too far. If ISAF is half the organisation it claims to be it should come into action before more damage is done to sailing.
At 9:02 PM, said...The Alinghi statement sounds like they have a reserve location in the southern emisphere...
Question: is the 6 months notice now reset? In 6 months RAK is Deed legal!
The 6 months notice is not reset but Alinghi needs to have BMWOracle's mutual agreement now for any location southern or northern hemisphere (this is a deed requirement if the venue is not announece 6 months prior to the races)
At 9:28 PM, said...9:02 PM The order said sail 10 months from the date served. It said give GGYC 6 months notice of where the venue is. SNG has really only Valencia to choose from as SNG has to allow GGYC time to get to the venue & to set up their base....common sense.
SNG has dug their own grave on this one.
Let's go to Hobart in TASMANIA then!
At 10:34 PM, said...Alinghi is in big trouble : they need the consent of BOR for any venue because of the 10 months rule.
At 12:00 AM, Carmen said...Good news the AC Cup isn´t going to RAC.... too hot, too far, too complicated a country still and not great for women...so lets stick to Valencia, please...
The winner, well only a race won will tell us that...I´m bored with Bertarelli and all his fiddling with everybody for his own personal gain...
Onya Ramon,but they are not winning the all important PR race, bad for sponsorship.
I'm with you Folkenboat, bring it back downunder , Tasmania will be great!
please, somebody, get me some of the stuff ramon is smoking. it seems to be very strong.
At 3:21 PM, said...Hilarious! The Alinghi-PR headline says: "New York Supreme Court orders 33rd America's Cup to be Deed compliant" - Astonishing,`that the court does, isn't it?
If Alinghi paid me hundert thousands of dollars as legal consultant, I probably would have given them the incredible hint, that a Deed-of-Gift-Match could possibly have to be Deed compliant.
This headline is unmasking Mr.B., ROFL
to 3:21 PM
Correct
Cahns' wording was ambiguous at best and many including BMWOR were uncertain of the outcome here. If you had been following this closely you would know that the central question was whether Cahn had in his judgement sanctioned a Northern Hemisphere venue in this instance. Considering this Alinghis statement is fair and correct. It will be interesting to see if the next judgement adheres as closely to the Deed, if so Alinghi may have won a slightly bigger battle if not the war.
At 7:41 PM, said...Interesting spiner ..

of course do I know the details and of course things aren't that simple. however, you have to admit that the headline still is funny. escpecially if you bear in mind alinghi's massive ignorance regarding the deed.

I’ve been to Spain and Europe a couple of times now, but my favourite trip to Spain, is still when I went for the incredible fire festival of Las Fallas in Valencia earlier this year. Sure it may not have been the biggest fire festival in the world, but Las Fallas in Valencia offers more than what Burning Man does – culture, tradition and of course, kickass food.
Read more about my experience at Las Fallas by clicking on the article for TODAY newspaper below:
For the uninitiated, paella originated from Valencia, which means you can savour the very best of this famous rice dish there. But a host of other amazing food, and just-as-amazing sights including their stunning beaches, cathedrals and their City of Art and Sciences await the unsuspecting traveller.
Why am I harping on and on about this place? This morning, Miguel, whom I met in Singapore and in Valencia, who works for their tourism board dropped a message about an easy-peasy contest to win a trip there!
Play The Paella Game, where your job is simply to chuck all the ingredients necessary for a paella into a pan! Easy peasy – and your name gets to go into the draw to win a pair of all-expenses-paid trip there! Sounds too good to be true?
Well, it’s true! The prize includes accommodation at a kickass hotel, watching at session at the Valencia Open, and of course, having paella, by Albufera Lake, the biggest lake in Spain. Get clickin’, kids.
The contest is only open to residents in Southeast Asia, Australia and New Zealand, though. But if you’re feeling left out, find out how to make your own paella here. Sounds like a good deal to me!
