The Ocean Race had a dramatic twist when two boats collided at the start of the seventh leg on Thursday as they were sailing out of The Hague in the Netherlands, with race leader 11th Hour Racing Team left with a gaping hole in its stern.
"Their boat appeared in front of me and it was too late," GUYOT skipper Benjamin Dutreux said after they docked.The GUYOT team later said they would retire from the leg and offered their assistance to the 11th Hour Racing Team as they look to rejoin the fleet. Video footage from the camera on board the 11th Hour Racing Team's boat showed they tried to avoid the collision and warn the other team but it was too late."I don't want to speculate but it seems that the other boat didn't see us. We were the right of way boat. The impact was forceful, we are very lucky that everybody is okay."
