At the Helm, I Am Confident This Will Continue in 2013 The Bahia Corinthian Yacht Club M Issue 10/10 - Volume 83 astheadDecember 2012 Commodore Winnett karen.winnett @klgates.com t th e elm I want to take this opportunity to express my H appreciation to the 2012 Executive Committee and their wonderfully supportive spouses.A It has been such a pleasure to be with a group who set their egos aside and worked so selflessly and collaboratively to support each other and achieve common goals. With Tom Madden at the helm, I am confident this will continue in 2013. My thanks to the 2012 board members for their patience in allowing me to make changes in our meeting processes so that they more closely mirror the running of a corporate board, improve the presentation of information needed for decisions and shorten the meetings. It is a pleasure to work with such a diverse group of people who are able to quickly reach consensus. I owe a debt of gratitude to the 2012 committee chairs and all of our volunteers. Without them, the club would not be what it is. They are often behind the scenes and their efforts should be recognized for their importance and appreciated by all of us who enjoy the club. We are fortunate that Scott Jones has joined us as general manager. The new employees whom Scott has hired are clear evidence that he is building a great new team to work alongside our longtime BCYC employees. It is with great pleasure that I welcome Tom Madden as incoming commodore. He will be fabulous and is sure to leave his mark on the club. Please show him your understanding of what a big job being our commodore is, supporting him in every way you can.

  • 2013 Sustainability Report Introduction
    2013 sustainability report introduction our vision for the 34th america’s cup was to deliver a model sustainable sporting event. The America’s Cup is the world’s premier sailing race, and the oldest trophy in international sport, predating the modern Olympic Games by 45 years. The America’s Cup is named after the schooner America, which won a race around the Isle of Wight on August 22, 1851, against a fleet of British yachts. Four nations have won the America’s Cup in its 162-year history: the United States, Australia, New Zealand and Switzerland. ORACLE TEAM USA won the 33RD America’s Cup in Valencia, Spain, in February 2010, and selected San Francisco as the host city for the 34TH America’s Cup. ORACLE TEAM USA, representing the Golden Gate Yacht Club, won the 33RD America’s Cup in Valencia, Spain, in February 2010, and the Golden Gate Yacht Club selected San Francisco as the host city for the 34TH America’s Cup. The America’s Cup Event Authority (“ACEA”) aspired to implement best practice standards in delivering a sustainable 34TH America’s Cup event in San Francisco. Our vision was to deliver a model sustainable sporting event and to leave a positive legacy in the community and on the sport of sailing. ACEA published the 34TH America’s Cup Sustainability Plan 1 (“Sustainability Plan”) in March 2012, outlining our approach to delivering sustainable event activities in San Francisco. We pledged to understand our impacts, reduce potentially negative impacts as far as possible, and maximize legacy benefits. Since that time, ACEA has monitored and tracked the event’s performance and progress in order to inform stakeholders and the public about activities and achievements, and provide transparent reporting on event activities in San Francisco.

  • The America's Cup and the Law of Trusts: Mercury Bay Boating Club's 1988 K-Boat Challenge
    211 The America's Cup and the Law of Trusts: Mercury Bay Boating Club's 1988 K-Boat Challenge Peter Grainger German* The author examines the litigation surrounding the 27th America's Cup regatta. The author argues that the deed of gift did not permit a defence of the Cup with a catamaran, and that even if it did, the San Diego Yacht Club failed to satisfy its fiduciary obligation of acting in the utmost good faith towards the Mercury Bay Boating Club. Finally, the author argues that the deed of gift is more accurately described as a non- charitable purpose trust for factual beneficiaries. I INTRODUCTION On July 17 1987, Sir Michael Fay issued a letter of challenge for the America’s Cup to San Diego Yacht Club ("SDYC"; ”San Diego”). He could not then have foreseen that an air of ill-will and acrimony would so pervade the 27th America's Cup regatta as to demonstrate its fragility "...in the face of die amoral quest for betterment, the hunger to win at any cost, even at the cost of destroying the game."*1 The waters of San Diego Bay played host to two races for yachting's not-so-holy grail on September 7 and September 9 1988. SDYC's 60 foot catamaran Stars & Stripes defeated Mercury Bay Boating Club's 132.8 foot keeled monohull New Zealand2 in both races, making the scheduled third contest unnecessary.3 On the water at least, therefore, San Diego successfully defended the 27th America's Cup (the "Cup"). * This article was written as part of the LLB(Hons) programme.

In 1970, for the first time, there were multiple challengers. Since 1983, Louis Vuitton has sponsored the Louis Vuitton Cup as a xw for the winner of the challenger selection series. From Next edition this will become the PRADA CUP. Though the boats and rules have evolved across the years (from J-Class to catamarans to monohulls), our shared story and passion for sailing remains unwavering.
