“ If a person satisfies the conditions of nationality for more than one country, he shall elect and declare a single nationality, and may participate only on behalf of the country whose nationality he declares. A foreign designer—however he is designated—participating in the design of a boat or a sail would violate both the letter and spirit of the above resolution, and any boat or sail so designed would be ineligible for use in America’s Cup competition. ”

“ A person shall not be considered to apply or to have applied substantial intellectual creativity and/or judgement to the determination of the shape and/or structure of a yacht, its hull, rig, appendages, or sails if that person merely develops, modifies, operates, or provides instructions for the use of or the interpretation of any data or information created by, any machine, tool, instrument, device or apparatus including, but without limitation, computer software, towing tank facilities or sail testing facilities, which may be used to assist in that determination. ”

“ WHEREAS because the great increase in the popularity of the America’s Cup competition among clubs in foreign countries in recent years, the great increase in the number of foreign cubs for the Cup, and the prosperity experienced by various countries throughout the world, designers and crew members who are nationals of one country have begun changing their places of residence to other countries far enough in advance to satisfy the conditions of nationality to design or compete for clubs located in more than one country ”
