America's Cup Penalty Blunder

From Afternoons, 1:13 pm on 30 May 2017

Race officials say they were wrong in handing Sweden a penalty, that gifted Team New Zealand victory in their qualifying race in Bermuda this morning. Sweden's Artemis Racing was penalised for not giving Team New Zealand enough clearance going around the last mark.
