At a briefing on May 14, America’s Cup organizers announced the summer event will remain on track after the tragic events of May 9. Since then, the Review Committee has recommended all teams suspend AC72 and AC45 sailing.
Oracle Team USA’s AC72 _17 _capsized during training on San Francisco Bay on Oct. 16, the team’s eighth day of practice. Currents and big breeze pushed the capsized catamaran under the Golden Gate Bridge as the team worked to salvage the boat.
On their eighth day of AC72 training on San Francisco Bay, Oracle Team USA bit the dust and pitchpoled. Watch (and cringe!) here.
