[singlepic id=5115 w=204 h=300 float=left]America’s Cup – New York – A giochi ormai fatti la Société Nautique de Genève e il nuovo defender dell’America’s Cup, il Golden Gate Yacht Club, hanno trovato un accordo relativo alla remissione delle cause legali ancora aperte riguardanti la 33ma Coppa America, tra questa la mozione riguardante la violazione dei doveri del fiduciario presentata dai legali dello yacht club statunitense contro l’allora defender elvetico.
“Invece di preseguire nella controversia, abbiamo preferito trovare il consenso: siamo contenti di aver trovato un accordo” ha commentato il commodoro del Golden Gate Yacht Club, Marcus Young.
Il Golden Gate Yacht Club, inoltre, ha confermato di aver iniziato il processo di consultazione teso a definire i dettagli della 34ma America’s Cup: un processo che vede il club a stelle e strisce collaborare con il Club Nautico Roma, il circolo sotto il cui guidone regata Mascalzone Latino Audi Team.
Gli incontri proseguiranno durante i prossimi sei mesi e ogni particolare relativo la prossima Coppa America verrà reso noto durante il 2010.
AMERICA’S CUP, AN AGREEMENT HAS BEEN REACHED BETWEEN GGYC AND SNG
[America’s Cup Press Release] An agreement has been reached with the previous America’s Cup Trustee, Société Nautique de Genève, that all outstanding litigation in the New York courts concerning the recent 33rd match will be dropped by both sides.
This includes Golden Gate Yacht Club’s Breach of Fiduciary Duty (“BFD”) claim against Société Nautique de Genève, as well as all other claims over the design and construction of yachts Alinghi 5 and USA.
Golden Gate Yacht Club’s yacht USA won the 33rd Match on February 14 off Valencia, Spain.
“In place of controversy, we seek consensus. Instead of continuing argument, we are pleased to have reached agreement,” said Golden Gate Yacht Club Commodore Marcus Young.
Golden Gate Yacht Club’s representatives have started a consultative process with regard to the venue, timing, format and type of boat for the 34th America’s Cup.
Golden Gate Yacht Club and the Challenger of Record, Club Nautico di Roma and its sailing team Mascalzone Latino headed by Vincenzo Onorato, are cooperating closely in this.
“Good decisions not hasty decisions: this is what the Cup community wants – added Russell Coutts, CEO of Golden Gate Yacht Club’s sailing team BMW Oracle Racing – Our focus is on looking ahead and making the 34th edition of the oldest trophy in international sports the best America’s Cup yet”.
Discussions will continue over the next six months with the details of the 34th Cup confirmed during 2010.
“We will do our best to fulfill Larry Ellison’s vision of a competition which respects the Cup’s unique tradition whilst moving forward with the latest technology to attract an even wider audience” commented Coutts.
