Queensland is being considered as a possible venue for February’s America’s Cup challenge.  The location is currently being decided in court after Oracle, the challenging American team, disputed the Swiss team’s choice of the Persian Gulf.  Now it appears that the Swiss are willing to move the event to the coast of Australia.  Sydney was initially considered until it was conceded that the waters outside Sydney harbor are not conducive to yacht racing.  Southport in Queensland was then suggested and is now under consideration.  The decision is now before the New York State Supreme Court.  Read more about the America’s Cup in Australia on the Sydney Morning Herald website.
