34th America’s Cup – new vision revealed
Rome, May 6th, 2010
The oldest trophy in international sport: re-energised by unprecedented collaboration between the Defender and the Challengers
-New, fair rules and independent professional management will give an equal opportunity to all teams
- A new class of fast, exciting boats created in conjunction with all teams
- The 159 year old competition made irresistible to commercial partners with regular racing in multiple venues under professional, neutral race management
- Transformed television and online coverage will place race fans right at the heart of the action, wherever they are in the world
This was the message today at the first press conference of the 34th America’s Cup, which saw the trophy brought to the home city of the Challenger of Record, the Club Nautico di Roma.
Speaking in the Sala Exedra in Rome’s Musei Capitolini, surrounded by some of Rome’s most precious treasures, Russell Coutts representing the defending Golden Gate Yacht Club and Vincenzo Onorato on behalf of the Challenger of Record, mapped out the future of the America’s Cup. |
