Last Wednesday, one of BMW Oracle's Extreme 40 catamarans capsized while the 33rd America's Cup challenger were carrying out one of their usual two-boat training sessions. British journalist Tim Jeffrey was onboard the boat when it capsized and filed
this report about the incident. Still, what is more impressive is the sequence of the capsize, captured by the lens of the team's photographer
Gilles Martin-Raget.

ReplyDeleteThere are easier ways to check the bottom of your boat, but that is the fastest i've seen.
