On the Water | AR would be eliminated by the jury rule decisions. ETNZ proposing dispensation to allow them back in.

On the Water | Several articles today state that they (LR) think they have a boat that can beat NZ. Sorry. Ain't happening. Tune in Saturday for the butt whippin'

"We respect the decision of the America’s Cup Jury," said Grant Simmer, Oracle Team USA General Manager. “We continue to support the Regatta Director and we believe all teams have benefited from his review. We don’t have an issue complying with the Class Rule, and we will be ready to race under the rules affirmed by the Jury.”

Hillsborough, NC USA | We'll see if Artemis really has a plan B or if they are out. As I read the ruling, the Jury threw out Regatta Notice 189, which is the document that elevates all 37 Safety Recommendations to Rules. Therefore, the boats will have to go back to their pre-recommendation (i.e. small, non-adjustable) elevators. Team Artemis reportedly has rudders that comply, so they should be able to race. | | | Re: AC72 Oracle Team USA Spaceship has landed

Roanoke Island ,N.C. | I thought Luna Rossa was gaudy when it came out, and still do, but those sailing/spaceman suits are downright comical. I hope those guys got a nice bonus to have to dress like that.

If a man is to be obsessed by something.... I suppose a boat is as good as anything... perhaps a bit better than most.

That's good to hear. I never quite got the jist of them NOT being able to sail.

Hillsborough, NC USA | ETNZ wanted AR to be given dispensation (the IJ refused). What does that mean in English??? ETNZ was trying to give Artemis an exemption for their "outside the beam" elevators. Hopefully that should squash the allegations that ETNZ was trying to exclude Artemis from the regatta. The jury ruled, however, that it does not have the authority to grant such dispensation. | | | Re: AC72 Oracle Team USA Spaceship has landed

South Carolina | I'm hopeful that Artemis can find a way to make it work - but I must say I feel better about this ruling in that it should no longer taint any victory. On another note; I wonder if Luna Rossa's silver metallic life vests are USCG certified?

South Carolina | I keep hearing "Spaceman Spiff!" in my head when I see closeups of these guys. You know they're catching hell.
