America’s Cup, la dirigenza di SNG risponde al GGYC

America’s Cup – Ginevra – La dirigenza della Société Nautique de Genève ha risposto all’ultima lettera inviata dal Golden Gate Yacht Club sostenendo che: “Il Comitato Centrale della Société Nautique de Genève da il suo pieno appoggio alle decisioni del club relative alla 33ma America’s Cup, inclusa la scelta di Ras al Khaimah come sede delle regate…”.

Nella lettera si sottolinea poi che il Golden Gate Yacht Club sa perfettamente che è tra i diritti-doveri della Société Nautique de Genève quello di poter scegliere Ras al Khaimah, diritti-doveri che non riguardano certo il club statunitense.

Ras al Khaimah, secondo il defender, soddisfa pienamente quanto stabilito dalla Corte e dal Deed of Gift. I giudici della Corte Suprema dello Stato di New York, infatti, hanno stabilito che la Société Nautique de Genève può scegliere Valencia “…o ogni altra località”. Una frase che autorizza località tanto nell’emisfero nord, quanto in quello sud.

AMERICA’S CUP, SNG’S CENTRAL COMITE REPLIES TO GGYC’S LETTER
[Source Alinghi] The Société Nautique de Genève Comité Central responds to the Golden Gate Yacht Club’s latest letter: “The Société Nautique de Genève Comité Central is fully supportive of the Club’s decisions to date concerning the 33rd America’s Cup, including the selection of Ras Al Khaimah as the venue […],” it writes.

The letter highlights the Golden Gate Yacht Club’s acknowledgement that the Société Nautique de Genève has the right and the duty to choose Ras Al Khaimah; it also underlines the American club’s recognition that it has neither right nor role in the selection of the venue.

The defending yacht club reminds the Golden Gate Yacht Club that it has chosen a venue in accordance with both the controlling Court Orders and the Deed of Gift. The Court Order, in particular, expressly affords Société Nautique de Genève the right to designate Valencia “or any other location” as the venue for the next Cup. By its plain language, the Order allows a Northern or Southern Hemisphere venue, a fact that was repeatedly acknowledged by both Russell Coutts and Tom Ehman.

The letter from Société Nautique de Genève also includes what BMW Oracle Racing’s own security advisor said of the venue to the Ras Al Khaimah representatives during his recent visit.
