Alinghi = you lose.
quote:
The New York Court of Appeals has this morning (NZT) ruled in favour of Oracle over Alinghi in a long-running legal fight that will now make Golden Gate Yacht Club the challenger of record for the America's Cup.
And it means the 33rd America's Cup could be a simple head-to-head contest.
The verdict overturns a ruling last year that backed a Spanish club as the official challenger.
I'd like to say this is the end of the court battles - but Alinghi will find something no doubt. At least their Spanish bum-boy yacht club is no longer the match-maker in this affair.
