The Jury for the 32nd America’s Cup has fined the Italian Mascalzone Latino-Capitalia Team 10'000 Euros for a technical violation of the measurement rule for the America’s Cup Class.

The Italian team used a different paint from that called for in the America’s Cup Class Rule. Mascalzone Latino-Capitalia had declared this different paint manufacturer on a form filed with the Measurers, but it was not flagged at that time as a violation.

The Jury ruled that Mascalzone Latino did not gain any performance advantage through the paint, and that the breach of the rule was inadvertent.

Due to this, the Jury decided no sporting penalty should apply. But noting that rule compliance is an important component of participating in the America’s Cup, the Jury fined decided to impose the 10'000 euro fine.

The team will begin repainting its boat immediately.
