The Penalty Rule 🚨 #KnowTheGame

Basically, the penalty in the America’s Cup, including when a boat is OCS, is to slow down and get two boat lengths behind the other boat, which means put one boat length of water between the two boats. However, if a boat sails out of bounds or fouls a boat on a different leg of the course, the penalty is to slow down until the umpires decide the boat has lost two boat lengths in the race relative to the other boat.

To protest, the skippers will hit their “protest button.” There will be umpires following the boats on the racecourse and umpires sitting in a booth on shore. Umpires in the booth have video and graphic views of the boats, and can replay situations before making their decisions, if needed. The umpires in the booth administer the penalties by turning on a boat’s penalty light. When the umpires decide the boat has fulfilled its penalty, they will turn off the penalty light.
