|
| |
| And then what? |
- This is our guess... (but see below)
|
- More LVT format events ("borrowed" boats) in 2011 in countries possibily participating in AC34; UK, Sweden, Germany...
|
- 2012 is tricky because of the Olympics, but some events with teams' "own" ACC v5's or even "new" ACC boats could be arranged - probably Valencia based. If there are America Defender candidates a couple of similar events in the USA is likeley.
|
- In 2013 we think there will be a fully formed Challenger Selection Series (LVC) in Valencia and a parallel Defender Selection Series in Newport RI.
|
- So AC34 will end up with a 2 boat "best of 7" match on San Francisco Bay late on in 2013
|
| |
| Now some real news... |
- Newport RI preparing bid for AC 2013 - ri.gov
