Update: Here is the latest from GGYC:
Today's hearing at the New York Supreme Court was productive. Both sides - Golden Gate Yacht Club and the America’s Cup defender Société Nautique de Geneve - have agreed to meet on the venue and timing issues over the weekend and report back to Justice Kornreich on Monday. We are hopeful an agreement can be reached.

AliveWe just received this and it would appear to be good news for the continuation of Flying Tiger. Unfortunately, there is a fair bit of cleaning up to do after the mess that the previous owners left, but, we know Tom and think he'll do a good job.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
November 6, 2009Hiptrader, LLC, previous owner of the Flying Tiger line of sport boats, has completed the sale of all assets to the newly formed Flying Tiger Boats, LLC of San Diego California.
The announcement was made today by Tom Hirsh, President of Flying Tiger Boats. Mr. Hirsh was an early purchaser of the FT 10 and owns hull numbers 9 and 10. Over 100 FT 10 models have been sold since its inception. Our goal is simple says Mr. Hirsh; “to promote a fun, fast, well built, family orientated sport boat while continuing to offer future purchasers the best value in the marketplace”.
Flying Tiger Boats is committed to working closely with the Hansheng Yacht Building Company and Robert H. Perry, yacht designer to support existing owners and promote the growth of the worldwide class.
Currently, Flying Tiger Boats builds the Flying Tiger 7.5, Flying Tiger 10, and is developing plans for the new Flying Tiger 13.8.
For more information, please call Tom Hirsh at 619-889-9568 or visit FlyingTigerBoats.com.

11/06/09Update:Here are letters being fired out by TPYC board members:
At 7:30 this evening the e-mail list of members was released from Mike Nash (who has been too busy) to Commodore Nordin at his insistence. Commodore Nordin has released this list to the board majority for its use and I am herein sending you a response to Tom Pollack’s letter you should have received earlier this week. It has been determined that Mr. Pollack went to the TPYC vendor (MAILSOURCE, Costa Mesa) last Friday and convinced the vendor he had the right to use the mailing list which of course he would only have with board approval which he did not have.
In any event attached is my response letter that presents the boards position. If you agree with the will of the board and wish to support the board I would be honored to be your proxy. You may also name Gil Jones, Jerry Montgomery, Jim Eddy, Roby Bessent or Chuck Cook as your proxy. Please fill out both the ballot proxy and the voting proxy and return to me either by fax or e-mail (scanned pdf file). Time is short.
Thank you for your consideration.

Dear Transpac Member:
11/06/09
There have been confusing and competing lobbying efforts with regard to the election of Transpacific Yacht Club officers and directors for the 2009-2010 term. As an example, I received the following email this morning from a member:
"Bill, I trust in your judgement. What should I do? Mr Pollack contacted me and got my proxy saying that he was behind you. Is this correct or did I get tricked?"
Not hearing the entire conversation, I can't be sure whether he was tricked or not.
But to clarify, I do NOT support Tom Pollack's efforts to promote the slate with Tom Garrett as commodore.
I do support the slate which was voted by the board. This lists me, Bill Lee as commodore, Dave Cort as vice commodore, and Leslie DeMeuse-Disney as rear commodore.
