America's Cup: Oracle let off lightly on spying
penalty
Oracle Team USA have been left off lightly by the International Jury, who
have announced their penalty for spying within the 200 metre radius permitted in
the Protocol governing the 34th America's Cup.
Just before
Christmas, the Int Jury, which is completely independent of race and event
organisers, upheld a complaint from Italian Challenger, Luna Rossa, that the US
Defender had taken photos of their AC72, within the specified 200 metre
distance.
Despite some strong words in the Discussion leading to the
Penalty, the Int Jury prescribed that Oracle Team USA will be prohibited from
sailing either of their boats for a period of five days at the end of the next
no-sail period. That period runs from February 1, 2013 to May 1, 2013 - and
teams are allowed to sail for 45 days in that three month period.
