AFP: San Diego Yacht Club backs Oracle in dispute with Alinghi

"MADRID (AFP) — The San Diego Yacht Club, which defended the America's Cup title in 1992 and 1995, has backed US team Oracle in its legal dispute with Swiss champion Alinghi over the rules for the next edition of the event.
In a statement, the club said it had 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."
