Scathing Assessment Of 33rd Protocol Published

Detroit Free Press' Eric Sharp mounts a scathing assessment on the 33rd America's Cup protocol and the motivation driving Ernesto Bertarelli: 'America's Cup winner hatches ludicrous plan - Owner twists rules in team's favor.' Read it in full here.

We suspect Eric's forthright viewpoint may see him struggle to gain entry to any future Bertarelli-controlled ACM press event, but its publication is timely as we await further developments (this week?), amid much speculation that behind-the-scenes negotiations to resolve differences aren't bearing fruit & that the New York Supreme Court seems the likely next America's Cup venue of note.
