The America’s Cup, one of the most famous competitions between countries, was held here in Newport 12 times from 1930 to 1983, and for nine of those times, from 1958 to 1983, the sailboat used to determine the winners was the 12 Metre, a single-masted sloop of approximately 68 feet (21 metres) in length. Scenes from the docks after Australia II won the 1983 America’s Cup (Photos by Gilles Martin-Raget) Click photo to download During the 12 Metre Cup years, thousands of sailors, support teams, families and spectators from around the world swarmed lower Thames Street and wharves such as Bannister’s where the 12 Metres and their teams headquartered during races that determined a final defender and challenger destined to spar one- on-one for the coveted silver ewer that was “The Cup”. The most memorable Cup in Newport was unfortunately its last; 1983 marked the first winning challenge to the New York Yacht Club, which had 12 METRE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP 2019 successfully defended the Cup over a period of 132 years. An Australian syndicate representing the Royal Perth Yacht Club wrested the precious trophy from its decades-old resting place, breaking a winning streak that was the longest on record in any sport.

THE LITIGATION OF THE AMERICA'S CUP RUNNETH OVER WITH INCONSISTENCIES: A NEW APPROACH TO INTERPRETING CHARITABLE TRUSTS [T]he basic convention for any game is the assumption of a level field, that all begin as equals, above board. Without that convention, there is no contest. The highly moralized ... world of any sport is very fragile in the face of the amoral quest ...to win at any cost, even at the cost of destroying the game.' I. INTRODUCTION In the spring of 1990, the New York Court of Appeals2 held in Mer- cury Bay Boating Club Inc. v.

  • No Plastic Oceans Project
    No Plastic Oceans Project www.noplasticoceans.org Our oceans are increasingly polluted by plastic but as yet we do not have enough reliable information about that pollution to enable an agreed credible strategic plan to remediate the pollution to be put in place. More than 8 million tons of plastic is dumped into our oceans every year (Plastic Oceans https://plasticoceans.org/the-facts/). It doesn’t just float on the surface injuring and killing fish, seabirds and marine mammals. Sunlight causes degeneration of the plastic and much of it breaks down to micro particles, sinking to the ocean floor where it has been detected at 5,000m depth. Samples taken by scientists at the Scottish Association for Marine Science off the Western Isles found that 48% of creatures had plastic in them, at a depth of 2,000m. All organisms in our oceans are daily subject to plastic rain which is now found in every ocean organism from nano-plastic in zooplankton to plastic bags and ropes in whales. Marine plastic pollution has impacted at least 267 species worldwide, including 86% of all sea turtle species, 44% of all seabird species and 43% of all marine mammal species. The impacts include fatalities as a result of ingestion, starvation, suffocation, infection, drowning, and entanglement (https://www.cleanwater.org). National Geographic reports that “some 700 species of marine animals have been reported so far to have eaten or become entangled in plastic” (National Geographic Magazine, June 2018 p.81). Researchers at the Algalita Marine Research Foundation documented an increase in plastic debris in the Central Pacific Gyre five-fold between 1997 and 2007, where the baseline in 1997 showed plastic pieces outnumbered plankton on the ocean surface 6:1 (Charles Moore, Algalita Marine Research Foundation, presentation at California District Attorneys Association, Sept.
