Sail-World.com : America's Cup Trustees expected to urge Multi Challenger Match

America's Cup Trustees expected to urge Multi Challenger Match

The Trustees (former holders of the America's Cup) are expected to issue a joint statement later today, along with the Royal Yacht Squadron, urging fellow and current Trustee, Societe Nautique de Geneve to conduct the next America's Cup on a Multi Challenger basis.

The America's Cup Trustees include some of the most prestigious yacht clubs in the World, and are a very select group - including Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron, San Diego Yacht Club, New York Yacht Club and Royal Perth Yacht Club.

The Royal Yacht Squadron, based on Cowes, Isle of Wight was the original club for the first America's Cup race for the then 100 Guineas Cup.

New York Yacht Club is expected to make the statement which will place further pressure on SNG to conclude negotiations with Golden Gate Yacht Club, under the Mutual Consent provisions of the Deed of Gift to allow a Multi Challenger event, rather than the Multihull match.

There is no requirement for the America's Cup Match to be sailed in the yachts specified in the Notice of Challenge, if the parties operate under the Mutual Consent provision.

Indeed, the now disallowed, Notice of Challenge from Club Nautico Espanol de Vela, which was accepted by Societe Nautique de Geneve specified an America's cup class yacht to the Version 5 of the AC Rule, with the comment that this was not the yachts they wanted to race, and that another class would be negotiated under Mutual Consent.

Sail-World will carry details of the announcement, when it is made, along with the responses of the parties.

Negotiations are understood to be yet to start, between the Defender and Challenger of Record on a meaningful basis, to resolve the format of the 33rd America's Cup Match.
