If you're racing on the edge, sometimes you are going to go over it. Keep at it!

[@NZbluesky]

Gosh... really dramatic! I guess that's the racing grade! Really good to see ALL of this recording. Good luck to rebuilding. I'm sure they can do that.

[@SwissJacques1963]

Dynamic forces, Strong hit of wave, extra forces on Vorstag which hasen broken first

[@sailworldnzl]

They were doing very well before the incident RG

[@ngberete]

😂

[@andrewbogle3350]

Looked very fast until it didn’t.

[@tinkeringwithmark1186]

Headstay went first! I was wondering why the forsail wasn't taught in the beginning of the video!

[@enzeda]

Super fast before demasting. Pleased no one was seriously injured.

[@danstanford3071]

Did the mast break or come down due to rigging failure? I did skim through the footage so I might have missed something but I did not see a broken mast anywhere just a missing one.

[@banderson8444]

The jib starts to fall before the mast does. It seems like the forestay parted causing the dismasting

[@barryscott6222]

Looking really quick beforehand.

[@380Scania]

Hope everyone onboard was ok

[@honahwikeepa2115]

Catch up again.

[@nroose]

Brand new mast. SMH.

[@noreckkos]

Made in China?

[@jeffreysearle2996]

This isn’t sailing this is some screwball version of combat survival sailing. Enough is enough someone’s going to get killed.

[@morrisanderson818]

And modern car's would do the same, what's your point, you'd probably go back to the boring single hull,or horse and cart, human's won't get anywhere unless we push the boundaries,look what the Wright brothers started,

[@Hurst6969]

Must have had an unqualified DEI candidate engineer the masts!!!
