The International Jury for the 34th America's Cup, has just posted its
Decision in Case 19, which was initiated by the Italian Challenger, Luna Rossa,
over an incident where a surveillance boat from Oracle Team USA was within half
the distance allowed for viewing competitors while training.
The
International Jury found that Oracle broke the rules on surveillance because of
a novel interpretation of the word 'navigating' and compounded their
transgression by continuing to take pictures from closer than the permitted
range.
Luna Rossa protested Oracle Team USA in early November, alleging
that Oracle Team USA’s Matt Mason had been within a distance of 200 meters and
taking pictures of the Italian AC72. Luna Rossa alleged that Mason’s actions
violated Article 37.2(g) of the 34th America’s Cup Protocol, which prohibits
competitors from navigating within 200 meters of each other.
