Artemis Racing becomes Challenger of Record for 34th America's Cup
San Francisco, CA - 17 May 2011 - The Royal Swedish Yacht Club (Kungliga
Svenska Segel Sällskapet, KSSS), represented by Artemis Racing, has become
the Challenger of Record for the 34^th America’s Cup.
“We welcome KSSS and their team Artemis Racing into this role,” AC34 Regatta
Director Iain Murray said.
America’s Cup Defender, Golden Gate Yacht Club, informed Murray of the
withdrawal by the Italian yacht club Club Nautico di Roma (CNR) earlier
today.
“We also thank CNR and their team Mascalzone Latino for their efforts in the
important start-up phase of the 34^th America’s Cup. While we are
disappointed to lose a great Italian contender in Mascalzone Latino and CNR,
we are confident in the leadership we anticipate from KSSS and Artemis
Racing.”
CNR filed the first challenge for the 34^th America’s Cup and thereby became
the “Challenger of Record.” KSSS was the second challenger to enter, and
under America's Cup rules, automatically succeeds as Challenger of Record.
