33rd America’s Cup in Australia?
Societe Nautique de Geneve have handed a thorned olive branch to the Challenger for the 33rd America’s Cup, Golden Gate Yacht Club.
The Swiss Defender of what was the premier trophy in sailing has offered to stage the event ‘on the east coast of Australia’ in return for the cessation of all legal action.
The offer has also been sent to the New York Supreme Court who are to hear submission on the outstanding issues/five questions posed by Justice Shirley Kornreich in her Decision of last Friday.
However of the new venue is more relevant to an Appeal lodged by SNG with the Appellate division of the same Court over venue selection, and whether this must in fact be Valencia. The question still to be resolved is whether Golden Gate Yacht Club’s consent is required for any venue Northern or Southern Hemisphere, now the event is well inside the six month time window specified by Justice Herman Cahn in an earlier Supreme Court decision.
