prada cup, when we know which course...


Recommended Posts

over an hour later and they're still pumping OUT water

so presumably there's a spilt below the waterline, letting water IN only slightly slower than the pumps can get it out... foil-case when she did the belly-flop?

that big blanket/recovery sling could be there to try and cover an aft? split?

debatable that they can get her home in the light...

very lucky the conditions lightened instead of getting worse...

jib under bow covering bow split?

8pm "Race officials say they're currently towing the boat backwards because there is a hole in the bow somewhere. They expect it will be hours before it's back at base"

some big question marks now about what they need to do to rebuild her, particularly all the electronic systems and batteries.

They are back at the dock. Rig is out, boats currently still in water, that will be next I guess.
