An unnamed party has lodged a complaint with the Arbitration Panel for the America's Cup over the exchange between INEOS Britannia skipper, Ben Ainslie and a New Zealand television commentator reports Sail World.
The case, which has been published on the regatta's online Notice Board, is anonymous in that it does not state who lodged the complaint/report. When contacted by Sail-World, David Tillett, the Chairman of the Arbitration Panel, advised that it was not one of the teams competing in the America's Cup Regattas. It is believed the complainant has no connection with the Event.
