Default Racing Illegally?? ( America's Cup )

It seems that every America’s Cup Class yacht has been racing illegally for the past few years, due to an oversight in the complex rules that govern Version 5 of the ACC design rules. BMW ORACLE Racing’s design co-ordinator Ian ‘Fresh’ Burns admitted yesterday in a press conference at the team base that the team’s boats – along with every other team’s boats – had been racing out of class.

Rules infractions and racing? Why, if they keep this up they will ruin the entire sporting nature of fair play!

Wow, bending rules in racing, I have never heard of that before...:o That is why I like F-22's, there is no rule, except to win.
