the american team will be racing to keep the america's cup in america. will take place right off the city front. the start line will be adjacent to marina green where the golden gate bridge at a backdrop. from the start, it will take the boats probably less than a minute to scream towards the first turn which would be only about 150 yards off the shoreline, so close to the water's edge in fact that you'll be able to hear the sound of the winches and the voices of the crew. i'm talking about polite voices. the regatta director has just issued a directive about the salty language needing to be a little sweeter. then boats will rip up and down the bay. on that first leg, they'll approach speeds close to 50 miles per hour, but they'll rip up and down the bay over a three-lap course and then the finish line will be right off here at piers 27 and 29. so the america's cup competition will be 162 years old, this fantastic trophy next year, yet it will have seen nothing like what's about to happen in san francisco. this will be the fastest, most fan friendly cup

as you're all well aware, the america's cup agreement has changed. we have transferred the scope of work, which went from 111 million of private investment to approximately 25 million to public works projects. while the investment size has changed, we also will be retaining 3.9 million of long-term rent. those facilities will no longer be utilized to repay that initial investment through long-term development rights. prior to the change in the america's cup agreement, we were planning to issue -- planning a financing plan for to partially fund cruise terminal phase one and also for the shore side power equipment at pier 70. this slide shows our original plans, adjustment due to the america's cup change and new total. we've made a decision along with the city family with the great thank you for the office of public finance to utilize city c.o.p.'s instead of port revenue debt for this financing. this helps the port because the city's credit rating is better than ours so the pricing will likely improve. it also helps us with coverage and you will notic
