Back to topArbitration in the 36th America's Cup: Including Additional Previously Unpublished Material (Hardcover)
Description
More than the most prestigious regatta and match race in the sport of sailing, the America's Cup is a test of boat design, sail design, and management skills. It is not surprising that its passionate skippers, builders, and managers often become embroiled in disputes. Recognizing this, and the need to deal quickly and professionally with any divergency, an arbitration panel has become an established part of the Cup's organization. This book-the fifth of a series that over time constitutes a unique corpus of decisions rendered over more than twenty years-compiles all the directions and decisions issued by the 36th America's Cup Arbitration Panel in the context of the nineteen cases submitted to it, as well as all supporting documents elucidating the context in which the decisions were issued.
In addition to all the decisions, the following are also included:the Protocol of the 36th America's Cup and amendments made thereto;
the 36th America's Cup Arbitration Panel Rules of Procedure;
applicable versions of the World Sailing Racing Rules, the AC75 Class Rule, and the so-called Prada Cup Conditions and Match Conditions;
previously unpublished documents related to proceedings which have led to the amendment and/or interpretation of the Deed of Gift by the Supreme Court of the State of New York; and
previously unpublished court-related material pertaining to the key Mercury Bay case (1987-1990).
