America’s Cup – New York – Pubblichiamo una lettera aperta, apparsa sul sito Sail World, inviata alla Société Nautique de Genève e al Golden Gate Yacht Club dai Commodori degli yacht club che sono stati detentori della Coppa o l’hanno messa in palio: il Royal Yacht Squadron, il New York Yacht Club, il Royal Perth Yacht Club, il San Diego Yacht Club e il Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron:
“Scriviamo per incoraggiarvi a raggiungere un accordo che porti a una 33ma America’s Cup multi challenger giusta ed equa. Crediamo che un evento del genere, rispetto a una difesa condotta a termini di Deed of Gift, sia molto più interessante per lo sport in generale e per i membri della vasta comunità dell’America’s Cup, che hanno investito tempo e risorse per rendere la manifestazione una delle più importanti a livello internazionale”.
“Speriamo che l’attuale Challenger of Record e l’attuale defender possano lavorare insieme, trovando una via che, appianando le disparità di vedute, conduca ad un evento di portata tale da fare del bene alla vela e all’America’s Cup”.

AMERICA’S CUP, OPEN LETTER FROM THE TRUSTEE ABOUT THE 33RD AMERICA’S CUP
[Source Sail World] This is an open letter to the Société Nautique de Genève and the Golden Gate Yacht Club from the Commodores of the five yacht clubs that either set the America’s Cup competition in motion: the Royal Yacht Squadron, or have been a former trustee of the Cup: the New York Yacht Club, the Royal Perth Yacht Club, the San Diego Yacht Club and Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron.
‘We write to encourage you to negotiate together for a fair and equitable multi-challenger competition for the thirty-third defense of the America’s Cup. We believe that such an event, as opposed to a ‘Deed of Gift’ defense, is in the greater interest of the sport of sailing in general and of members of the broad America’s Cup community, who have invested their time and resources to make the event a true international competition of the highest order.
‘We hope that the current challenger and defender will work together to find a way through their differences to bring about such an event for the good of yachting and the America’s Cup.’
The Lord Iliffe, Commodore Royal Yacht Squadron
