BMW Oracle Racing have confirmed that they do not have a second yacht under construction and that they will challenge with the trimaran, BOR90, which is again sea-trialling in San Diego after major modifications.

Challenge spokesman Tom Ehman confirmed, in a media statement, after today's New York Supreme Court Hearing that BOR90 would be renamed 'USA' and her dimensions would be used to produce the Customs House Registry certificate which has to be issued by the US authorities.

'We are very satisfied with today's court session and the discussion around the Custom House Registry,' Ehman said after the Hearing in front of Justice Shirley Kornreich.

'We're pleased to publicly confirm that the BOR 90 - which will continue to undergo modifications - is the boat that will compete for the 33rd America's Cup in 2010.

'It's now clear that we can continue to modify the boat after submitting the CHR. Soci?t? Nautique de Gen?ve asserted, once again, that they would not use the rules to disqualify our boat.

'We look forward to the Judge's decision.'
