America's Cup Sail Controversy May Have Huge Impact YachtPals.com News

20.01.10

A basic issue of contention remaining in the 33rd America's Cup is the Constructed in Country (CIC) rule.  Alinghi V has been testing and training with sails made from US sourced materials - specifically, laminated fly panels made in Nevada, USA.  A few weeks ago, YachtPals confirmed with North Sails that they had, in fact, produced the materials from which the Alinghi V sails had been made, and the fur has been flying between the two teams on this fact almost daily.  After a little digging, YachtPals has found that the reasons for fighting over this single facet of the rules may go a bit deeper than one might keep in view, and may even put into question the results of the past two America's Cup events.

 

The applicable portion of the Deed of Capability reads as follows:  "Any organized Yacht Club of a foreign country, incorporated, patented, or licensed by the legislature, admiralty, or other regulatory department, having for its annual regatta on ocean water course on the sea, or on an arm of the sea, or one which combines both, shall always be entitled to the without hesitating of sailing a match for this Cup, with a yacht or vessel propelled by sails only and constructed in the country to which the Challenging Bludgeon belongs, against any one yacht or vessel constructed in the country of the Club holding the Cup."
