  • Australia's Hamilton Island Yacht Club Confirmed As Challenger Of
    GOLDEN GATE YACHT CLUB 1 Yacht Road – On the Marina San Francisco, California USA 94123 Australia’s Hamilton Island Yacht Club Confirmed as Challenger of Record for 35th America’s Cup San Francisco (September 30, 2013) – Hamilton Island Yacht Club (HIYC), located on the edge of the Great Barrier Reef in Queensland, Australia, has challenged for the 35th America’s Cup. HIYC’s challenge has been accepted by the Golden Gate Yacht Club, which remains the Defender and Trustee of the world’s oldest international sporting trophy after its team, ORACLE TEAM USA owned by Larry Ellison, won the 34th America’s Cup in San Francisco last Wednesday. For the past three decades HIYC has run Audi Hamilton Island Race Week, which has become the largest annual regatta in Australia with some 200 offshore yachts competing in recent years. HIYC is led by Australian winemaker and sailing legend Bob Oatley, whose succession of yachts named Wild Oats have dominated ocean racing in Australia for years, including having won six of the last eight Sydney-Hobart races. An Australian team led by Mr. Oatley won the last Admiral’s Cup, widely regarded as the world’s top prize in ocean racing. The challenge was filed by Mr. Oatley and his son, Sandy, on behalf of HIYC shortly after ORACLE TEAM USA won the thrilling deciding final race in the 34th America’s Cup against Emirates Team New Zealand on San Francisco Bay on September 25th. “We are delighted to have Hamilton Island Yacht Club and the Oatley’s leading Australia back into the America’s Cup for the first time since 2000,” said GGYC Vice Commodore and America’s Cup liaison Tom Ehman.

Ramblings p12 use my bully pulpit to again invite and implore all of our Nominations Time p13 membership to take part in the weekend’s activities. In my Coast Guard Day p13 mind, the idea of an “annual regatta” is not just the high Coming Events p14 point of any yacht club’s sailing season, but a time-tested Heard ‘Round the Club p14 responsibility in which our club serves to both draw us together as well as welcoming guests from across our region. On the bulkhead of my Tartan 27, Olin, hangs a framed postcard from a very different era that depicts an extremely familiar scene. Most likely produced in the late ‘40s or early ‘50s, it depicts the awards ceremony at the end of a regatta at the Put-In-Bay Yacht Club on Lake Erie. The scene is identical to that of similar occasions that most of us have attended. If you’ll indulge my practice of undergraduate-level art history interpretation, I’ll point out many of the constants that we see to this day.

INTRODUCTION: "THE OLDEST CONTINUOUS TROPHY IN SPORTS" 2 One-hundred and thirty-seven ounces of solid silver, standing over two feet tall, this "One Hundred Guinea Cup" created under the authorization of Queen Victoria in 1848 is physically what is at stake at every America's Cup regatta.3 However, it is the dignity, honor, and national pride that attach to the victor of this cherished objet d'art that have been the desire of the yacht racing community since its creation. 4 Unfortunately, this desire often turns to envy and has driven some to abandon concepts of sportsmanship and operate by "greed, commercialism and zealotry."5 When these prin- ciples clash "the outcome of the case [will be] dictated by elemental legal principles."6 1.

  • Costs and Benefits of Hosting the 34Th America's
    LEGISLATIVE ANALYST REPORT: COSTS AND BENEFITS OF HOSTING THE 34TH AMERICA’S CUP IN SAN FRANCISCO EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The America’s Cup is the premier sailing event in the world. Hosting the 34th America’s Cup in San Francisco, an event reported to be the third largest in all of sports behind the Olympics and the World Cup, would make San Francisco one of only seven cities in the world to have hosted an America’s Cup. In addition to the prestige of such an event, hosting the America’s Cup would also bring significant economic benefits to the region. The Budget and Legislative Analyst wants to make it very clear that the disclosures made in this report, pertaining to the estimated costs and benefits to the City and County of San Francisco, are not for the purpose of determining whether the America’s Cup should be held in San Francisco. We clearly recognize the importance and prestige of hosting such an event in San Francisco. However, it is the responsibility of the Budget and Legislative Analyst to report the facts to the Board of Supervisors. On February 14, 2010, at the 33rd America’s Cup in Valencia, Spain, BMW Oracle, a sailing syndicate (or team) based out of the Golden Gate Yacht Club in San Francisco, defeated the defending syndicate to become the winner of the 33rd America’s Cup. Under the rules governing the America’s Cup, the winner of the America’s Cup is entitled to select the race format, date, and location of the next race.

  • 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.

The Illegally Intercepted! 4 32nd Cup had just ended and it was decided by the closest margin in its 148 year history, with the Swiss team Alinghi, representing the Société Nautique de Genève Yacht Club, successfully defending the Cup by one second. Since then, billionaires Ernesto Bertarelli, head of the Alinghi team, and Larry Ellison, head of the United States’ BMW Oracle Racing team representing the Golden Gate Yacht Club, have made plenty of waves in the courtroom over details of the 33rd Cup. Together, they have waged a legal regatta regarding the correct interpretation of the Cup’s governing document, the Deed of Gift (the “Deed”), which provides, among other items, the rules for selecting the Challenger of Record and venue for the Cup races.
