Larry Ellison, Team BMW Oracle USA & Ernesto Bertarelli, Team Alinghi SNG,
33rd America's Cup competition
Thursday, 11 Feb 2010, Valencia, Spain
You have the attention of a much of the world watching you attempt to sail your two exciting boats for the America's Cup. Time is running out, it is time to act. There are 4 days from today left in the week you announced to sail this regatta.
It is clear that the existing race requirements will not be easily met. A second day is being wasted each time the race is postponed.
Tomorrow, Friday is the next opportunity to hold a race.
I suggest you schedule races for each of the next three days. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
That you race each day without intervening days off.
If the weather or sea state is not suitable for the scheduled race, 20 milw windward-leeward for instance, that you authorize the Race Committee to set and run a suitable course for the conditions, keeping usual safety concerns in mind.
If it becomes possible to run more than one race in a day, that the Race Committee be authorized to do so.
All the machinery and personnel you would need to do this are on site at the moment. If you will simply agree to use them you can complete this regatta this weekend.
I appeal to you to apply your the talents of your teams to do this.
Sincerely,
David Cort
Los Angeles Yacht Club & Transpacific Yacht Club Race Officer
