AYRE, THE SECOND DESAFÍO ESPAÑOL

"We are ready to file", said Pedro Perelló. "But the game area remains in our opinion quite uncertain".

The leader of the new syndicate (and director of the Transpac 52 'Siemens' project), gave on Friday a Press Conference and could no longer hide his impatience.

The conflict initiated by BMW Oracle is one of the issues to be solved but other major obstacle is from AC Management side.

Perelló said he asked Michel Hodara's Team to yield the former Luna Rossa base. Ayre purchased all the assets of the Italian Syndicate and it would be simplest if they could move in directly.

"But, they refused it because they gave verbal agreement to Team Origin about the use of the base", deplored Perelló. "It is therefore so much more regrettable that we are not alone with this request".

As the deadline for leaving their bases was just over for the "old syndicates" (syndicates for the 32nd America's Cup unregistered for the 33rd edition) was just over, the new Desafío Español continue to hope in a positive outcome.

"We could move the Luna Rossa's assets in another base but it would simply waste time", said Perelló. "And time is of priceless value in the America's Cup".

Perelló concluded by saying that other meetings are scheduled with ACM and that "options B and C are still on the table".
