AFP: New York Yacht Club backs Oracle in dispute with Alinghi

"MADRID (AFP) — The prestigious New York Yacht Club, which held the America's Cup for 132 years, has backed US team Oracle in its legal dispute with Swiss champion Alinghi over the rules for the next edition of the event.
The club filed a brief with the New York appeals court supporting Oracle's contention that Alinghi had chosen an ineligible club, Spain's CNEV, to be its official 'challenger of record,' which gives it the right to help set the rules for the next race along with the title holder."
