Coutts Offers Bertarelli an Olive Branch

Valencia Sailing is carrying a statement from BMW Oracle Racing's Russell Coutts indicating that GGYC would be prepared to drop its legal challenge to the 33rd Protocol if it was to be completely rewritten to reflect the wishes of Mascalzone.

It strikes us that if this were to be the case, GGYC wouldn't have much case to pursue anyway, which might explain why it fell to Coutts to release the news, not Ellison.

Anyway, a flicker of light on the horizon - surely Bertarelli can't ignore this? Watch this space!
