INEOS Team UK skipper Ben Ainslie said the British team must ensure its vessel is fully compliant with the rules or risk forfeiting a race in the best-of-13 Challenger Series final against Italian side Luna Rossa starting on Feb. 13.
Ainslie's team is carrying a penalty after Luna Rossa spotted an irregularity on the mainsail of"Britannia" during the first round-robin race last month and successfully filed a complaint of non-compliance.The 43-year-old suggested Luna Rossa were resorting to"gamesmanship" in looking for minor irregularities ahead of the series final, which determines who will face America's Cup holders Team New Zealand from March 6.
