NZers break camp
NZPA-Reuter San Diego New Zealand’s unsuccessful America’s Cup challengers have broken camp in California and headed east for a possible court challenge in New York of the San Diego Yacht Club’s defence earlier this month. The New Zealanders, headed by merchant banker Michael Fay, had said they would take their challenge to court immediately after the Cup races that ended on September 9 but so far they have not. They said they would go to
court to argue that San Diego’s use of a smaller, quicker catamaran to defend against the big monohull sloop was contrary to the Deed of Gift which set up the 137-year-old yachting competition. Last week Fay, syndicate chief from the Mercury Bay Boating Club, sent the New York Supreme Court a letter asking for a meeting of all parties in the litigation. “We’ll find a balance in this. We’re not going to lie down,” Fay said shortly before flying out of San Diego.
