BMW Oracle Racing will defend the America's Cup in 2013 or 2014, and the competition for the world's oldest trophy will feature new rules, new boat designs and other sweeping reforms.
Seeking to put an end to the disputes that marred the last America's Cup, BMW Oracle pledged cooperation with other teams and a body of independent experts to solve any conflicts.
"Diktat has been replaced by discussion, confrontation has been replaced by consultation," said Russell Coutts, CEO of the BMW Oracle team, yesterday.
Coutts appeared at a news conference in Rome alongside Vincenzo Onorato of the Mascalzone Latino team, which is the Challenger of Record. The team is based at the Club Nautico di Roma.
"What we want is discussion and debate now in order to avoid disagreement later," Coutts said, the 159-year-old silver trophy behind him. "Our minds and our ears are open."
