Is America’s Cup Finally ut of the Courts and Into the Water?
New York Times
” It is not the sort of clarity either the Alinghi president Ernesto Bertarelli or BMW racle Racing’s owner Larry Ellison were seeking when they invested themselves and some of their many millions in this expensive hobby which has been compared with standing under a cold shower ripping up $100 bills. Both billionaires are quite accustomed to getting what they want in life and both jumped into the game in Auckland New Zealand for the challenger series at the 2002 Cup. n the water Bertarelli clearly has been the winner taking the Cup on his first attempt with a yacht-load of hired New Zealand help including the skipper Russell Coutts and then defending it in Valencia Spain in 2007. But Ellison the software impresario who has yet to make it to the America’s Cup match has clearly been the winner so far off the water and not just because Coutts — the most successful modern-day helmsman — is now on his team. BMW racle’s lawsuit forced Bertarelli and Alinghi to scuttle their plans and dictatorial set of rules for the next Cup which had originally been scheduled for this year in Valencia in monohulls with multiple challengers. BMW racle’s lawsuit also forced Bertarelli to accept BMW racle and the Golden Gate Yacht Club it represents as Alinghi’s challenger of record dislodging Alinghi’s handpicked and overly compliant initial challenger Club Nautico Espanol de Vela of Spain. Now Ellison’s lawyers have successfully imposed a February 2010 date for the next Cup whereas Alinghi preferred to sail in May and give itself more time to play catch-up.
