Grupul INEOS al lui Jim Ratcliffe a inițiat o acțiune în justiție împotriva echipei Athena Racing a lui Ben Ainslie pentru recuperarea iahtului AC75 folosit la Cupa America 2024 din Barcelona, o barcă care a costat 180 de milioane de lire sterline. Disputa se concentrează pe întrebarea fundamentală dacă finanțarea unui sponsor cumpără proprietatea activelor sau doar dreptul de a pune numele pe corp și pânze, o problemă care ar fi trebuit clarificată înainte ca orice bani să fie cheltuiți.

On his Yacht Racing Business publication, David Fuller reviews the latest America's Cup drama between Jim Ratcliffe, chairman and chief executive officer of the INEOS chemicals group, and 5-time Olympic medalist and America's Cup campaigner Ben Ainslie. Here's an excerpt:
It seems the only people who reliably win in any given America's Cup cycle are lawyers. The New York Yacht Club spent decades defending the trophy in the courts rather than on the water, and the tradition appears to be in good health.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s Ineos Group has announced it is taking legal action against Sir Ben Ainslie’s Athena Racing to recover the AC75 yacht used in the 2024 America’s Cup in Barcelona, a boat Ineos says cost £180m to build, part of a total £350m outlay across two Cup cycles.
The dispute centres on a question that should have been settled before a penny was spent: did Ineos’s funding buy ownership of assets, or merely the right to put its name on the hull and the sails? - Full report
