Groups hoping to be concerned within the 2027 America’s Cup are assembly in London underneath the shadow of the Ainslie-Ratcliffe falling-out. Since INEOS Britannia introduced that it had parted firm with Sir Ben Ainslie and would enter a problem for the thirty eighth America’s Cup with Dave Endean as CEO, there was hypothesis as to the standing of the Challenger of Report.
The Challenger of Report for AC38 is the Royal Yacht Squadron Ltd (RYSL) represented by INEOS Britannia.
Following the assertion issued by INEOS Britannia and Sir Jim Ratcliffe, eradicating Sir Ben from the INEOS Britannia group, Ainslie issued an announcement declaring that Ainslie’s British America’s Cup group can be referred to as Athena Racing going forwards.
Nothing else has been launched since these two preliminary statements, with the RYSL unable to make clear the scenario till the 2 events, and presumably the cup holders/defenders, Group New Zealand, resolve the scenario between the 2, now separate British challenger groups.
It’s anticipated that the London assembly, which is able to contain the groups that took half within the thirty seventh America’s Cup and intend to problem in 2027, will wish to hear some agency developments to the preliminary assertion issued again in November.
Notably what the Defender is proposing concerning the venue, adjustments to the AC75 design and plans to additional commercialize the America’s Cup. Though with out decision of the RYSL-INEOS-Athena place this can be troublesome.
With Ainslie claiming that the British America’s Cup group is Athena Racing and apparently nonetheless representing the RYSL – though no one has confirmed that – that will give Ainslie, by way of the RYSL the correct to veto any new challenger.
Considered one of which might presumably be the Ratcliffe backed group INEOS Britannia.
