— An adviser to the sheik of Ras al-Khaimah, United Arab Emirates, has filed a friend of the court brief defending the suitability of the Persian Gulf port to host next year's America's Cup showdown.
The race is between American syndicate BMW Oracle Racing and defending champion Alinghi of Switzerland.
The CEO of the Ras al-Khaimah Investment Authority, Khater Massaad, filed the amicus curiae brief Tuesday with the New York State Supreme Court.
It is in response to BMW Oracle Racing's motion asking a judge to reject RAK as the port for the best-of-3 series beginning Feb. 8 for the oldest trophy in international sports.
BMW Oracle Racing contends that RAK is unsuitable, in part because of its proximity to Iran.
