Not valid when there's an imbalance of power, which can be assumed when a boss and an employee (and his gf) are involved.

I'm speechless. I posted 2 questions during the presser that were not answered (many others were). Guess what, today the Alinghi press person sent me 2 mails, replying to my questions: ... Some of the questions asked online in the “chat” during the press conference of the new team...

No shit, really?

Today it was confirmed, with a bit of a smile, that Switzerland is no emerging nation.

As I wrote above, from the presser: - EB: Not talking about budget, but feel well resourced - EB not on the boat! But on board for training reasons, if required

Bold.: Haha, I feel the same, and I feel bad for it. But time is a healer, as they say.

I think, he is wonderful. And now?

Good morning all, Here my notes out of today's presser. It was all rather generic - as expected - but some nuggets may be found. On stage were: Pierre Girod, Commodore SNG Axel Meyer, Vice-Commodore SNG EB BB Hans-Peter Steinacher (Alinghi Red Bull Racing) Arno Psarofaghis: sailor...

Yes, please, I hope, I'll get an online slot and the chance to ask questions.

Just in:   MEDIA INVITATION   SOCIÉTÉ NAUTIQUE DE GENÈVE 37th America’s Cup   The Société Nautique de Genève (SNG) has the pleasure to invite you to a press conference to share its plans for the 37th America’s Cup.   Tuesday, December 14th, 2021 at 11:00am CET at Société Nautique...

Same nat. as the defender? Not feasible acc. to the Deed. 

It is about the entry cost, not entry fee. Big difference. 

SNG had their annual regatta on the Med. And now? 

Plus, SGP has never played the "home club brings Cup home" card. SGP is a lot more honest than the GD/RNZYS AC edition.

And?

Right, T(NZ) even has a boat. 

Club and country that won the Cup may not be able to defend successfully or set-up a money making machine (haha), but they are able to defend. RNZYS could write a class rule/protocol that mandates 44ft Opties or whatever cheap boat can be built in country, make it a 1:1 match without a CSS, TV...

Many solutions could be applied to keep the Cup in AKL, but most (all) of them require some patriotism and humility by GD. Yes, I used "patriotism" + "humility" and "GD" in one sentence - my bad.

Open design? The current class is not open design, or could a team show up with a trimaran?  It is a super expensive box rule that has an enormous participation (not even winning) cost. Hence the low entry number and T(NZ)'s money struggles. 

Elk is SAACish for ilk.
