[Source: Golden Gate Yacht Club] The Golden Gate Yacht Club will agree to comprehensive new compromises to get the Americas Cup back on track for Valencia in 2009 if the defender will disclose its rule for the boat’s design.

We are looking forward to putting this dispute about the rules behind us and racing for the Americas Cup in 2009 in Valencia as planned. Thats what we want, and thats what all the challengers want, Larry Ellison, syndicate head of the clubs Americas Cup team, BMW ORACLE Racing, said today.

But it is impossible to accept a design rule that we have never seen.

The American team has told challengers it is ready to agree to wide ranging new proposals discussed over the last 24 hours if it can confirm for itself that the design rule developed by Alinghi is fair for all competitors.

It has been normal practice over recent Cups for the design rule to be seen by all potential competitors well in advance of the event.
