Few would doubt that the New York York Yacht Club (NYYC) would make a fine mega-trustee for the America's Cup.
But I'm sure even Commodore Charles Townsend, his board and NYYC members would agree: if we want to rule, we'd better form a team, build a boat and win the Cup.
Interestingly, Malin Burnham of San Diego and Ernesto Bertarelli (SUI) are both on the same page. Both want the NYYC involved in the Cup's future.
But Ernesto is the legitimate defender. He approached NYYC to discuss the Protocol, the event and its evolution -- with standing and honor.
Perhaps those who have a reason to be there should endorse Ernesto's initiative and find a way to join the discussions. That would be in the letter and spirit of the Cup.
The alternative? Piracy.
