I promise not to ...

Words spoken in the heat of..... battle, passion, haste, appeal, to soon, to and from journalists, etc etc....
In case you've visited here before the sites from the Golden Gate Yacht Club (ggyc.com) or Societe' Nautique de Geneva (alinghi.com), I suggest you log on over and get ready for some semi-serious reading. As you will no doubt discover, most of what you are reading you have read before.
But, in the Petrocelli Affirmation, their are some pages from the Honorable Judge Carmen Ciparick's decision to toll in the SDYC vs MBBC case in 1987. Definitely the best read of the day.
Before this nightmare is over, expect that Judge Ciparick will again be featured prominently from her words from twenty years ago and possibly from her words yet written. There is more to this than just the final ruling by the NY Court of Appeals from March of 1990.
Anyway, as I began, unless the Appellant Court quickly rules on this and the Honorable Judge Herman Cahn clamps down some ironclad race dates in granite, expect that despite what he says, that Ernesto Bertarelli has exercised his nuclear option to keep this in court for the next several years.
Unfortunately this case is going nowhere but up the ladder from NYC to Albany and in the end........"the love you take is equal to the love you make"
