SNG expressed its willingness for the challenger selection to be open to other teams and has encouraged GGYC to do so by offering them more time for teams to prepare if necessary. It was also stated that the SNG would be flexible and ready to discuss other terms of the 33rd America’s Cup such as race format, venue or calendar.

GUESTBOOK
Country: SwitzerlandKopf hoch, auch wenn Alinghi diesmal verloren hat.Ihr seit das sympathisiere Team. Ich und viele andere hoffen dass Ihr beim 34. AC wieder dabei seit.Es sollte auch wieder mehrere Teams den Herausforderer unter sich ausmachen, dies ist für die Zuschauer (und Sponsoren) viel Interessanter.
