34ª Copa del América: No hay segundo, Majestad

[Seis]

Los americanos, o son rígidos con sus reglas, o les falta sentido común!!
ETNZ rompe el barco (botalón y popa-timón) por librar a un barco de aficionados que estaba donde no debía, y Spithill casi se come a otro, al que pasó por encima escorando más:



One of the more evident repair actions taking place was that of Emirates Team New Zealand. More information is emerging as to how the damage occurred. ETNZ was baulked by a spectator boat and rather than hit that, Dean Barker exercised another option and attempted to fly the port hull over the bow of the mark boat, and almost made it. The damage to both was extensive and the racing boat came off worst.

The downward extension of the mast, which we used to call the 'dolphin striker,' together with all its attendant rigging was ripped away by the bow and guardrails of the mark boat, and the Kiwis were perhaps luck that the rig remained intact and upright. Then the rudder, after hitting the guard rails, impacted on the mark boat's windscreen and more damage ensued. The result was the foil was broken and the entire removable aft section of the hull, which contains the rudder unit, was badly damaged and has had to be replaced.
