With detailed information on this system, along with the book's many insights into the kinds of issues that fuel disputes in sports events (and their resolutions), The 32nd America's Cup Jury and its Decisions offers a significant extension of the knowledge base available to lawyers and scholars in several branches of law and legal practice." --Book Jacket.

Download or read book The Billionaire and the Mechanic written by Julian Guthrie and published by Grove/Atlantic, Inc.. This book was released on 2014-04-01 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Expanded to include the behind-the-scenes story of the 34th America’s Cup and Team USA’s incredible comeback Down eight-to-one in the 34th America’s Cup in September 2013, Oracle Team USA pulled off a comeback for the ages, with eight straight wins against Emirates Team New Zealand. Julian Guthrie’s The Billionaire and the Mechanic tells the incredible story of how a car mechanic and one of the world’s richest men teamed up to win the world’s greatest race. With a lengthy new section on the 34th America’s Cup, Guthrie also shows how they did it again. The America’s Cup, first awarded in 1851, is the oldest trophy in international sports. In 2000, Larry Ellison, co-founder and billionaire CEO of Oracle Corporation, decided to run for the prize and found an unlikely partner in Norbert Bajurin, a car mechanic and Commodore of the blue-collar Golden Gate Yacht Club. After unsuccessful runs for the Cup in 2003 and 2007, they won for the first time in 2010. With unparalleled access to Ellison and his team, Guthrie takes readers inside the building process of these astonishing boats and the lives of the athletes who race them and throws readers into exhilarating races from Australia to Valencia.

Book excerpt: A lavish two-volume collector's edition of the history of the America's Cup The ultimate history of sailing's most enigmatic and greatest prize Beautifully presented in two large volumes in a slipcase Illustrated with paintings and plans from the early years and dramatic photography from the modern era This stunning book forms the definitive history of the longest continuously competed international sporting event. Each of these majestic tomes leads the reader on a unique journey through the excitement, intrigue, innovation and excess that have been the hallmarks of the America's Cup. The first volume chronicles the Cup from the start of the competition in 1851 through to 1967. Bob Fisher has left no stone unturned in producing an objective and authoritative account of each event. The evolution of the America's Cup is carefully tracked, with the characters, the designs and the races themselves all sharing centre stage. Just as boat speed must be combined with tactical skill to succeed on the water, so scholarship and carefully crafted prose are united in this exceptional work. The second volume follows the extraordinary events between 1970 and 2003. There's the inside story on the court cases and personality clashes as well as the cutting edge designs and thrilling battles between the world's greatest sailors. The tale is told up to the 32rd America's Cup which marked the end of an era and the returning of the cup to Europe for the first time in 152 years. An Absorbing Interest is fully illustrated and includes paintings and artwork that recorded the action of the first cups as well as some of the finest photography from subsequent years. It all combines to create an achievement that is breathtaking in both its breadth and detail. The two volumes, each of more than 260 pages, are presented in an elegant cloth-bound slip case, making this a work that will be treasured for generations to come.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The America's Cup has been the world's most prestigious race for ocean-going yachts since the first contest was held between America and Great Britain in 1851. This superb book tells the story of the Cup from the beginning, presenting a unique collection of beautiful paintings of a dramatic scene from every match since 1851, culminating in the shocking 2003 victory of the Swiss syndicate, Alinghi, over the previously undefeated New Zealand team. Enlarged details of each painting reveal the artist's incredible attention to detail. There are also maps of the courses, and line illustrations of every competing yacht. The artist, Tim Thompson, started painting the sea when he lived with his parents on the tiny island of Hern in the Channel Islands in England. His fine technique is reminiscent of former great marine artists and his paintings, noted for their superb expression of wind and light, are in demand throughout the world. After recognizing the young artist's amazing talent and arranging a successful exhibition of Thompson's work at Cowest on the Isle of Wight, where the yacht America had first won the Cup, Rayner commissioned Thompson to paint the 26 large canvasses for the first edition of this book -- The Paintings of the America's Cup 1851-1987. More paintings portraying all the matches since 1987, and with accompanying text and illustrations, have since been added.
Download or read book Arbitration in the America s Cup written by John Faire and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2003-01-01 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following experiences made during the previous edition of the America's Cup, an Arbitration Panel was set up in order to resolve the disputes arising with respect to the 3 1 st (2000-2003) America's Cup. It was composed of five arbitrators, all high standing lawyers with vast experience in arbitration and sport. The Arbitration Panel issued 22 decisions on many subjects, ranging from deciding whether or not Societe Nautique de Geneve (Alinghi) could take part to the America's Cup, to whether or not the Seattle Yacht Club (One World Challenge) had breached rules prohibiting the transfer of technology from a syndicate to another. This book contains all the decisions rendered as well as the background and supporting material. It begins with an introductory text which enables a better understanding of the reasons why the Arbitration Panel was set up, of the way it has worked and of the main issues it has dealt with. The work will be of interest to any person involved in arbitration in general and in sport in particular. It will also provide an insight into the history of the America's Cup which, from the outcome in 1851, has been characterised by controversies and disputes.

Download or read book Arbitration in the 36th America s Cup written by Henry Peter and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2022-08-09 with total page 616 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than the most prestigious regatta and match race in the sport of sailing, the America’s Cup is a test of boat design, sail design, and management skills. It is not surprising that its passionate skippers, builders, and managers often become embroiled in disputes. Recognizing this, and the need to deal quickly and professionally with any divergency, an arbitration panel has become an established part of the Cup’s organization. This book—the fifth of a series that over time constitutes a unique corpus of decisions rendered over more than twenty years—compiles all the directions and decisions issued by the 36th America’s Cup Arbitration Panel in the context of the nineteen cases submitted to it, as well as all supporting documents elucidating the context in which the decisions were issued. In addition to all the decisions, the following are also included: the Protocol of the 36th America’s Cup and amendments made thereto; the 36th America’s Cup Arbitration Panel Rules of Procedure; applicable versions of the World Sailing Racing Rules, the AC75 Class Rule, and the so-called Prada Cup Conditions and Match Conditions; previously unpublished documents related to proceedings which have led to the amendment and/or interpretation of the Deed of Gift by the Supreme Court of the State of New York; and previously unpublished court-related material pertaining to the key Mercury Bay case (1987-1990). An extensive and valuable introduction provides detailed historical and factual context. Expert commentary addresses issues of special interest decided by the 36th America’s Cup Arbitration Panel, including privileged insight into the previously undocumented dispute resolution during the 35th America’s Cup (2013-2017) and the World Intellectual Property Organization’s Electronic Case Management Facility (ECAF). A table containing a summary of the subject matter of each decision and a keyword index help find which argument is dealt with in which decision. Because arbitration plays a key role in this context, and because what happens in the America's Cup is of general interest to the sport and arbitration communities, this book’s many insights into the kinds of issues that fuel disputes in sports events offer a significant extension of the knowledge base available to lawyers, arbitrators, and scholars in several branches of law and legal practice.
