Clipper 343 Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Prob too scared to say anything in case it "brings the AC into disrepute" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ScottiE 174 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 That's because there are "alternative facts" around that situation that suggests to ACEA that there was no crash! That's the American way these days! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

erice 732 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 The mast of Artemis Racing’s America’s Cup test boat came crashing down in the Great Sound yesterday. No one was hurt after the mast of the Swedish challenger’s AC45T2 test boat came down across the starboard hull of their catamaran “They were going quite fast downwind, heading from the Fort Scaur area North into Cavello Bay. Suddenly the boat seemed to turn, most likely in a gybe manoeuvre [crossing with the wind swapping sides behind the boat] and the mast came down in a jumble of wreckage. It was all very sudden.” Artemis posted a brief statement on Facebook. “During a practice session Artemis Racing’s development boat (T2) sustained beam damage whilst training,” it read. “There were no injuries.” http://www.royalgazette.com/americas-cup---sport/article/20170405/artemis-test-boat-damaged-on-great-sound Quote Link to post Share on other sites
