"It's a lovely rumour, but we can't confirm that it's true." That was the official response from Hamilton Island co-owner Sandy Oatley this morning (Saturday) when asked if the Hamilton Island Yacht Club was the official challenger of record for the 35th America's Cup."
"However, a very reliable source confirmed with me that America's Cup Race Management has already advised Emirates Team New Zealand that Hamilton Island Yacht Club will be the COR."
