Judge OKs America’s Cup Race

A state justice today ordered the America’s Cup race to begin in September as planned, ruling that any objections to United States’ radical two-hulled catamaran will have to be brought to court after the race.

In her decision, Justice Carmen Beauchamp Ciparick of the New York Supreme Court ruled against efforts by the Royal Burnham Yacht Club and the Mercury Bay Boating Club to bar the San Diego Yacht Club from racing the boat on Sept. 19 in the Pacific off San Diego.
