SNG/Alinghi are still pushing hard on getting GGYC/BMWO to moor inside the Valencia Darsena (America's Cup Harbor). GGYC/BMWO are resisting as there is not enough room to moor their boat with the wing up and allow it to swing 360 degrees. SNG/Alinghi has also continued to slowly turn up the volume on their complaint that the wing isn't really a sail (the deed specifies the boats to be "propelled by sails only"). I believe that SNG/Alinghi is pushing the mooring issue to get GGYC/BMWO to say something about the difference between a soft sail and a wing sail that they can use against them.


SNG is going to have a real hard time claiming that a wing isn't a sail despite anything that BMWO says or doesn't say:
