Valencia Wins – AC 33 is On

Valencia Wins – AC 33 is On, Appellate Decision Handed Down

So many times the sailing world thought that finally the 33rd america’s cup will be disputed, but this time I think that it is the one.

See the nycourt Supreme Court ruling

“Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Shirley Werner Kornreich, J.), entered October 30, 2009, which granted plaintiff Golden Gate Yacht Club’s (GGYC) motion for an order declaring invalid Societe Nautique De Geneva’s (SNG) selection of Ras Al Khaimah, United Arab Emirates (RAK) as the venue for the 33rd America’s Cup yacht race, unanimously affirmed, without costs. Order, same court and Justice, entered November 4, 2009, which, inter alia, ruled that, under the Deed of Gift governing the race, a yacht’s “rudders” may not be included in measuring its length on load water-line, unanimously affirmed, without costs. ”

 

So we will have a wonderful times in february seeing 2 titans competing for the old mug. But still keep finger crossed.
