ex Elly 258 Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 When a trimaran flipped in one of Tauranga Harbour's main shipping channels the main concern was an incoming "big container ship". But quick work by the Coastguard saw crisis averted. The trimaran had been racing in the Burton Sails Twilight Series in the Tauranga Harbour at 6pm Wednesday when their vessel ended up upside down. https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/flipped-trimaran-boat-damaged-but-crew-grateful-for-urgent-rescue-from-tauranga-harbour/WZMI3PE5ZL3BESCWVLHMCNKXCQ/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ballystick 79 Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 They were having one of their best races and almost on the last straight to the finish. 2nd time they have flipped it lately, are they a beast or what? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
