 ISAFの記事によると "次回アメリカ号杯マッチは 2010年 2月にマルチハルで" ということになったようです。

 ふーむ・・ 2010年 2月だと、もう 1年もないですね。 記事によると
Racing is set to be held in two giant multihulls, BMW ORACLE Racing having launched theirs in August last year, whilst Alinghi, the team of the Defender, the Societe Nautique De Geneve (SNG), have yet to launch their boat.
ということで、BMWに対してSNG側の遅れがかなりあるようですが・・
In response to the ruling, the SNG released the following statement:
“Société Nautique de Genève and Alinghi welcome Justice Shirley KORNREICH's decision and confirm that it will be adhered to. The Defender of the 33rd America's Cup also welcomes the clarity that it brings. We now know that the America's Cup Match can take place in the Northern Hemisphere regardless of the date, which Justice KORNREICH said can be agreed through mediation.
In the event of no agreement being reached, Alinghi, representing the SNG, will race BMW Oracle, representing the Golden Gate Yacht Club, in February 2010. In another important decision, Justice KORNREICH ordered the GGYC to stick to the specifications of their Notice of Challenge and instructed the Challenger of Record to provide the Custom-House Registry as soon as possible.”
 なんか statement の後半は "どっからでもかかってこい" みたいな感じもしますよね (^^;)
