Read the short article. Plus it has been on the news a bit... They changed the design of the boat
In Response To: What exactly did they do? ()
from the news piece:
The jury found that Larry Ellison’s Oracle team made illegal modifications to prototype boats used in America’s Cup World Series warm-up regattas last year and earlier this year. Specifically it added weights to the forward king posts and extended the post, thereby taking the boats out of the strict one-design rule.
