Representing a new challenge for
the America's Cup, the Team New Zealand challenge
was officially lodged yesterday with the ACM in
Geneva, Switzerland on behalf of Auckland's Royal
New Zealand Yacht Squadron.
The RNZYS' Letter of Challenge plus other required
documentation, formalities and funds were presented
to the CEO of AC Management, Mr Michel Bonnefous
in Geneva by a new zealander delegation.
The Team New Zealand 2007 is the fourth challenger
after the South African America's Cup Challenge
and the Italian Circolo Vela Gargnano Yacht Club's
Clan des Team sailing team to join the Golden Gate
Yacht Club's Oracle BMW Racing team in challenging
for the 32nd America's Cup.
Team New Zealand plan to take part in the first
America's Cup pre-regatta in Marseille in September
but have yet to officially enter.
