ACRM and GGYC, however, have now said that the competitors must "voluntarily" accept the safety recommendations or there will be no regatta. That hardly sounds voluntary to me. ETNZ, LR, and Oracle have all acceded though, stating their support of safety.
"or there will be no regatta" That's painting the picture with a broad stroke. This is really a bunch of media noise. Fact is OR, LR and NZ are in and racing, therefore we have a cup.
USCG issued a permit, you agree to it or you rescind it and get another one. Murray would do it in a second if he has to.
Bottle of your favorite rum bets that all the teams "agree" to change the class rule so that Artemis gets to race.
