In a recent filing with the state of New York’s highest court, 12 skippers and yachting clubs are asking for the overturning of a court ruling that allowed the San Diego Yacht Club to recover the 1988 America’s Cup from New Zealand.
The group claims that if San Diego is allowed to keep the cup, it will “reduce the America’s Cup to a piece of memorabilia and spell an end to a legendary competition that has endured for well over a century.”
Among the skippers supporting New Zealand are John Bertrand, of Australia II, which won the trophy in 1983.
