Alinghi's response to the Court Ruling, 2nd April 2009:
“It has consistently been our view that the America's Cup should be fought on the water. Today through the American courts the Golden Gate Yacht Club has won the right to challenge the Société Nautique de Genève. We will now discuss the terms for the regatta with them and will prepare our defence of the 33rd America's Cup.”

BMW ORACLE Racing comment by Russell Coutts, 3rd March 2009:
"... if Golden Gate Yacht Club is reinstated as Challenger of Record by the upcoming ruling from the New York Court of Appeals [SailRaceWin: GGYC was confirmed by the Court as Challenger of Record on 2nd April 2009], we will immediately seek to negotiate with the Defender for a conventional, multi-challenger America’s Cup in monohulls. However, if Alinghi decides not to negotiate for a conventional Cup, we have to be prepared with a competitive 90-foot yacht for a Deed of Gift match."
