There were scary scenes at SailGP Bermuda when the America n team’s crew were sent tumbling in a horror moment when their boat capsized.Footage shows the F50 boat slowly tilting over before ending up completely on its side in the water, with the America n crew tumbling downwards. One sailor fell and ripped a hole through the wing on their way into the water.They were all attached to ropes per SailGP protocols and thankfully escaped significant injury despite the scary bungee jumping-esque fall .
“Some bumps and bruises and a lot of work to get the wing working again. A sh*tty way to end the day.” The Australians also were able to test the Flying Roo during the practice to confirm it was race ready, following the completion of urgent major repairs after the Aussies disastrous crash in Christchurch.This meant Australia dropped from the top spot of the season four leaderboard to second overall, nine points behind new leaders New Zealand.
The leaderboard shake up now has six teams in close contention to make the Grand Final, so Bermuda, the 10th stop of the Season 4 Calendar, will prove to be a critical turning point with just two events remaining before the Grand Final in San Francisco.
