12:58 PM: Go and become a shopkeeper in your neighborhood, then you know your whereabouts for the next 40 years. You chose a different job? Then live with the consequences. Nowhere in the Deed it says: "Provide the gravy train hikers a guaranteed income and knowledge about their whereabouts for the rest of their lives."

2:37PM dumb ass poster: Nowhere in the dead does it say: "I am Crazy Larry, and I can eliminate all the teams of the world, and put myself at the top of the line by using my patented court room tactics. And then I will try to win the damned cup, even if it is not on the water. That suits me better anyway, because I really don't want to get my ass wet"

@3:19 poster:

So EB/Alinghi and their CNEV experiment gets a free pass? Typical. Both sides are to blame for the current state of the AC. Only blaming Uncle Larry makes you look silly.

3:19 PM - what don't you understand about not being Deed legal. SNG because of their arrogance has wasted 2 years in court & they will probably take this into another couple of years the way they are carryin on.

SNG after the 1st NYSC ruling could have said they screwed up & apologized then go back to the 32nd ACP but did not. They just continued on their path of arrogance.

You want someone to point the finger at where things started go no further than SNG. Also, there was a bunch of "cunning professionals" that supported SNG as well who have to take some of the heat as well.

Btw CNEV was the 1st challenger to never have sailed their annual regatta before their challenge. How hard was that to figure out that it wouldn't fly or have problems. SIU & go learn to frame a house like the rest.

SNG & Alinghi have crafted everything they've done to force GGYC & BOR to go to court. Then they stand on the courthouse steps and drop soundbites about how they want to win it on the water while BOR wants to win it in the courtroom.

CNEV was a blatant attempt by Alinghi to hijack the event and run it completely on their terms. Selecting BOR, ETNZ or Luna Rossa would have involved accountability and fairness. Ever since CNEV was DQ'd, EB has taken his ball and gone home.

The latest court ruling is the most baffling. SNG can change the rules at will? Does that mean if BOR is far ahead and rounds a mark to port, they can change the rules to round to starboard and make BOR go back and re-round? There is no other sport where a team controls the officials. If the officals report to SNG, how can there be independent objectivity? The courts just made the races irrelevant. It doesn't matter who wins on the water, Alinghi and BOR will be back in court by the end of February...

Will all this electric devices work fine during the flights of the 33rd AC challenge?
Isn't it to dangerous to confide so much in mechanic traps on such huge boats?
What will happen if one of them should fail during a match race?
Thimk about it .... Ernesto .... think ......

Yep .... mate .... very simple.
It could happen with a non electrical device also, but good sailors can somehow manage such a situation during a race.
With electrical devices, instead, this could be very difficult or even impossible.
Does the SNG crew have enough time, till February 2010, to test all this technological mechanisms in order to assure their full and long lasting work?
Tha's what I meant to say ..........
