Row sours Cup yachting
By
CHRIS PETERS
NZPA correspondent Sydney Relations between the New Zealand and British challengers for the America’s Cup have soured in a tug-of-war over a New Zealand dock worker. The British skipper, Harold Cudmore, told a press conference that the New Zealanders had
threatened legal action against both the syndicate and the worker if he switched camps, but the New Zealanders deny this. The challenge chairman, Mr Michael Fay, said the matter had already been resolved and the worker was staying with the New Zealanders; the issue was closed. He said members of the syndicate were under con-
tract and the row had reached the stage where the legal niceties had to be spelt out.
What remains to be resolved is just who the man is going to work for — while Mr Fay insists he is staying in the New Zealand camp, the British still believe he is going to them and are prepared to take up legal cudgels to back him.
