Oracle & Alinghi in the way of dialogue

Americans recognize that Bertarelli and Ellison have already had their first contacts. Five days after the Court of Appeals of the State of New York will validate as Challenger of Record of the 33rd America’s Cup, BMW Oracle yesterday gave his first public assessment of the sentence. And they did to reach out to advocate for a negotiated consensus for keeping the water in a cup competition in entering all the unions concerned.

Could not be otherwise. The union of Larry Ellison yesterday issued a brief statement in which it reiterated its commitment to promote a 33 Copa America with many challenges and not to test on them and multihulls between Alinghi.

The only novelty is offered in the statement submitted to the union first sword is recognizing that its owner and the Alinghi, Ernesto Bertarelli, has begun a series of contacts to try to reach an agreement: “The owner of BMW Oracle, Larry Ellison, and the president of Alinghi, Ernesto Bertarelli, has been in communication between them since the court’s decision in New York, “explained the text.

“At this time, the Golden Gate Yacht Club cree that it is best to maintain communication between the parties in secret to successful conclusions as soon as possible,” the communique ending American.

The note of the Oracle was expected by all parties involved in the Copa America. Moreover, it has not been one iota come predetermined script. Good words of the two parties are already on the table but what we lack now seems impossible to agree.

Alinghi has a protocol. A document signed by 18 unions and will be the framework agreement gives the U.S. team. The Swiss are aware of their advantage in the race of the Deed of Gift, is not going to give more concessions to be logical.

For its part, BMW Oracle will try to change the protocol in many ways. But most of all in one: the rule of the design of the boat. Americans can not agree to proceed in a Copa America that the strongest teams have already been over five months working on the design of his new sailboat.

This will be one of the biggest problems that can make the already endemic insurmountable differences between the two unions.
