"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".
