SAN FRANCISCO — San Francisco's troubled America's Cup sailing regatta was dealt another setback three weeks before the competition starts when organizers said they would refund tickets to watch some challenger races leading up to the finals. The announcement by America's Cup officials came late Monday in the wake of last week's decision by Sweden's Artemis Racing to remain in the tournament following a fatal accident last month, even though its boat and crew won't be ready to compete in the initial rounds. Money for tickets for the opening days of the Louis Vuitton Cup will be returned, as will seat payments for the subsequent semis. The races begin July 7. — Reuters
