What are the penalty rules for the America's cup?

Answer 1

In the America's Cup, penalty rules are primarily governed by the Racing Rules of Sailing, which include penalties for rule infractions such as failing to give way, starting violations, or causing collisions. A boat that commits a foul may be required to take a penalty turn, typically involving two 360-degree turns. The specific penalties can vary based on the severity of the infraction and the context of the race, with disputes often resolved by a jury. Teams can also appeal decisions, but penalties must be served before the race concludes.
