Did Ben Ainslie fall and hit his head? Or is he just that full of himself that he thinks he can pull off the crazed notion that the AC 75 Britania is his?
A peace offer made by Sir Ben Ainslie for the use of the AC75 in the next America’s Cup in Naples was rejected by INEOS. The parties remain distant, and Jim Ratcliffe holds the upper hand. The next deadline is September 15th.
Time passes, the Royal Yacht Squadron’s English challenge, led by Ben Ainslie, made a splash at Cowes Week, marking the 175th anniversary of the America’s Cup, but the raging row with Jim Ratcliffe and his Ineos team continues to fester and offers no clear solution.
The latest developments in the proceedings have brought a cold shower to Ben Ainslie, and the hope of using the AC75 Britannia (a few weeks ago, a video of Ian Walker on board, at the shipyard, showed the progress of the work…) has suffered a serious setback. Now the prospect of the remaining five AC75 challengers for the 38th Louis Vuitton America’s Cup in Naples 2027 (Luna Rossa ITA, Tudor Alinghi SUI, La Roche Posy FRA, American Racing Challenger USA, Team Australia AUS) is looking more than likely, pending word from a British court.
