Thanks for sharing your experience of a bad day. That takes guts. Speedy recovery, Billy!
Kudos to Team Canada for sharing a bad day at the office. I am will cheering them on in Sydney for sure
Thanks for the great video explaining the situation. A tough day for the team (esp Billy) and fans but let’s assume our worst event is behind us and now sail confidently into the top three over coming events.
Are these masthead cams new? That view is awesome for the tight mark roundings. More, please!
Thanks for sharing this guys, it provides much more insight into the decision making process. Easy to be an armchair quarterback but I feel that you made absolutely the right call. It’s no reflection on anyone’s ability but putting someone new into a critical position in challenging conditions puts the crew at risk and has the potential for negative training. So many ways it could have gone wrong for possibly little gain. A tough call, but looking at the big picture is what leadership is all about.
That's pretty crazy to have crashes like that, I am glad everyone is ok and I'm sure the team will bounce back!
Right decision for sure. Those conditions were no joke but thrilling to watch from a spectator view
Good call guys! Glad Billy is ok.
"hospital pass"...... nicely put!
A rough weekend to say the least. Canada is rooting for you. On to the next one.
Go Canada!
That’s crazy, like a football team only having one goalkeeper.
tough day - hope all turns out well - only way now is up ! go get em!
Smart choice. I'd be curious to hear if the added speed of the T-foils is making the mark roundings tougher because of higher g-forces, especially given how short the courses are.
Sympathetic video
holy smokes, I was so worried.
So when does the video get to the topic of the title?
Just wondering why the boats have kept the old non foiling bows. Coming off the foils, the bows should be an optimal shape to at least minimize stuffing. Why not more bow rocker?
Not sure that would actually be meaningful. It's one thing for an IMOCA to have rocker to prevent it from nosediving into the next wave, but another for a F50 Cat to be torpedoing into the water when dropping off the foils. The rocker and in creased buoyancy may help some, but it will probably be the difference between a huge crash and a very large crash.

That is a good observation, exampling the IMOCA's. Though, they changed design direction because of the addition of foils. But these boats don't appear, at least to the layman, to have changed from the non foiling boats. Cheers
Its turning yachting into (( go cart )) yacht carting and the rules need to address this.
Thank god for all the protection your team wears. Phew ...
