It must give ISAF comfort to know that their highly acclaimed jurists appointed to the America’s Cup International Jury are being kept busy determining such high valued protests as these submitted on July 17:

* Protest by Luna Rossa Challenge, claiming that the America’s Cup Event Authority has breached the event Protocol by altering photographs of their boat and removing the branding of their sponsor. Details here.

* Protest by America’s Cup Event Authority, claiming that Luna Rossa Challenge has breached the event Protocol by not attending the Louis Vuitton gala party. Details here.
