Fears Oracle Team USA may lodge a late protest against Team New Zealand have intensified, with America's Cup race management paying a couple of visits to the Kiwi base in Bermuda today. Rumours have been circulating Oracle had issued a claim on non-compliance against Emirates Team New Zealand after the Kiwi team's rollicking 4-0 start to the Cup match. Under the rules that govern the America's Cup match, each team has just one formal protest or "claim of non-compliance" up their sleeve. If they see something they believe may be pushing the boundaries of the design rules, they can raise it with the measurement committee. Explaining the measurement process earlier this month, Murray said the teams are under constant surveillance of the measurement committee.
