The latest decision from the New York Supreme Court has ruled that both boats shall be measured with all ballast on board.
Justice Kornreich took advice from three America's Cup experts and former jury members earlier this month on a number of technical issues. David Tillett (AUS), Graham McKenzie (NZL) and Bryan Willis (GBR) returned a unanimous opinion on each of the five issues.
