Huge respect for New Zealand, Italy and everyone else who helped repair the boat ❤️
no problem 🇮🇹
It is a law of the sea 🇮🇹
After the accident. Everyone helped, Italians, New Zealanders all helped. That is sailing too. Great people
This is a billion times better than anything the ACE has put out on this capsize. Thank you!
A pishure of the USA boat perhaps, but the rest is just a journalist's editing and warming the air around himself.
Hope they get it repaired fast.
Great sportsmanship with the other teams lending a hand.
No shit! Hundred of millions are invested in the teams!
Exactly! 👍👍
Way to go guys.!!!
Thanks be to Allah, Trump wasn't on the opposing team. That boat woulda sunk for lack of help.

I'm old enough to remember watching the 1983 America's Cup as a child. Its amazing how racing yachts have changed.
Thanks for sharing the footage of the resque and salvage operations of the American Magic. I don't understand why the AC youtube channel cut their show short and not show what happened to the half submerged boat.
Avoid commercial embarrassment for American Magic... that type of failure shouldn't happen
Because people with huge hourly rates need to be stopped getting paid lol
They already had delays with the abandoned race. The production team have a limited broadcast window
Torpedo from Chinese Sub????
I was more charmed by the camaraderie of the community pulling together to get the boat up. Great story! Thanks for posting!
The sailing community is a class act indeed! Well done!
Excellent reporting and commentary!
Thank you to all for the emergency assist with the American boat!
0:35 Wow. Never thought I would ever see an ac75 getting fully airborne! A Windsurfer airborne..yes all the time but an 8 ton boat?? Epic and hope the crew were ok.
8 tons?!?!!?!?! I would have never guessed it was that heavy.
It's all power to weight ratio. Basic physics.
It only take 2 boats to have a race, but the community always comes together when anyone needs help...Fair Winds!!
What community? I only saw New Zealanders helping.
u at all familiar with Am. Cup？
Good to see the other teams helping!! Thank you!!
Class and sportsmanship..What a great advertisement for the sport.
Les riches s'entraident ....c'est connu...
This event shows just how much these sailors care about each other and the sport. Really exciting racing with these pros pushing to the max.
race sailors always do
Ils sont obligés pour réussir...
Superb effort from all involved after very competitive race. So sad to see the damage done but loved the sportsmanship.
Awesome to see everyone helped. Reckon the Britts learnt a whole bunch during the previous rounds and made the adjustments. Now their boat is a serious contender...
The serious contender..
That was amazing to see the NZ crew, including the skipper, all over the American boat trying to help.
A true show of respect and Sportsmanship for sure. Touching Actually.
thats what kiwis are like
@@londonbeatz We need more Kiwis!
Gunna take a lot flex tape to fix that.
First thing my old man taught me about sailing: "Keep the water out and the people in."
Does anyone else see the irony of them being sponsored by Airbus?
🤣👍
So when do we get the detail as to what really happened to make hole in the hull that size?! Half a story.
top coverage and commentary! cheers!
Unfortunately prone to capsizing is a tradeoff when you design your boat for pure speed, the lack of a weighted keel makes these boats more at risk to it. It’s fine for racing, but I keep seeing people suggest designing *cruisers* like this and this is an example of why that’s not a good idea.
Brilliant! You must be a navel anthropologist. I always say, "go with the Vendee Globe boats if you wanna go for a Sunday sail.
@@WickBeavers That's what I do with mine. And I go grocery shopping in my Formula 1 :-) :-)
I live near the waterside and this race course. I was driving home around 9pm and the boat was still out there. They slowly towed it back to their port and on the news it said they got back at about 12:30am
So regarding the damage, the smack back down on the water broke the hull side between the framing, pretty much “snap on dotted lines”
The thing with boat design is you make the boat strong enough for the loads plus a safety margin, the bigger the margin the heavier the boat.
If it breaks its too light, if it doesn’t break it’s too heavy “
Punched a hole, looks like a battery came through. Me thinks this boat has seen it's last race this year. Not just the potato chip hull but hink of all the hi tech electrics being saltwater dunked
Perhaps they should pack all empty space with foam but perhaps add too much weight?
Nice to see other teams helping save the boat... after all this may actually be a "friendly competition between foreign countries"
Wonderful to see opponents helping an opposing team in today's world !
Anyone that's sailed an Opti and capsized knows that feeling.
true.
tho my worst experience was being catapulted from an hobie cat.
@@13dg I'm trying to learn sailing how much time does it take to learn the basics of sailing a small dinghy may I ask?
@@kwader_1404 here is the thing. I would say is not possible to give an exact time because each person is different.
I personally don't know how long I took because I was born into it, didn't really had a choice (not that I complain tho).
Some of my family give classes and usually they have a few sessions (maybe 5 to 10 sometimes more) of 4-5 hours and seem to be able to learn and practice the basics but keep in mind they keep going out and practicing so they basically are learning with experience, but sometimes there is one or two people that even after an year of practicing seem to have an hard time. On the other hand, majority of those seem to have that problem on their own fault. Sometimes those that attend the classes seem to create a theory on their heads of how this works and ant really move on from that, which usually doesn't allow them to learn much.
I would say sailing is more about sensitivity and feeling the vessel (instinct) than thinking about its theory, which might be good to know, but on the moment, things happen fast, so if you stop to think about what is happening and how to act that thing already happened when you finally make a decision.
So what o want to reach with this is that, as long you are able to open yourself to learn, I would say it won't take much time, to learn the basics that is, perfect them is a matter o practice.
When I went to optimists I had the advantage to have born in the environment but still had a lot to learn and practice but usually was a matter of go there, see what works and what not, the instructor would give some tips until we got it right. After a couple of sessions everyone was able to sail on their own, Still not perfect, still far from be on the best, but able to do the basic stuff.
Sorry if I couldn't be more helpful, but has I said, I feel its hard to know as it depends.
Having turned over an A scow, as well as flipping a few optis in my youth, I can confidently say that there is a slightly different feeling. It sort of shifts from "Oh shit, there goes my race" to "Shit, this is going to be expensive".
Just think AC yachts of old would cross oceans to get to the races...
Yep, completely different goal.
I hadn't thought of that. It really adds some perspective to modern developments.
If they had to foil with a 40 ton container...?? That would change the class.
Maybe an option for Sydney - Hobart ..?
But they didn't do 50 knots. I'll take Formula 1 over Model T any day!
@@lelievre12 Right - only 48 knots in light winds. LOL!
With these two major gashes in her hull it's amazing they managed to get her back to the hoists!
Stormy Daniels had bigger gashes and she sailed again!
@@picardmadeoff1068 with only 130K and Don's help plugged the hole.
Just discovered this racing about 10 min ago. Love how they help eachother
To all you people saying go back to the old days where the boats are in the water get real, that will kill the America’s cup, pushing the boundaries has brought more eyes to your sport like myself and many of my friends that don’t normally watch yachting.
I remember when the 12m 'Young America' (or some name like that) broke in half with forestay/backstay tension. Whatever class they choose they are always cutting edge technology 'on the limit'.
Revenir au bon vieux temps pour éviter toutes les pollutions marines...ce n'est pas mettre tout dans un seul panier....
I love these high speed boats. I hear complaints about traditional boats, but there are plenty of races for that. For example, having to face up to hurricane strength seas in the Sydney to Hobart race means that more traditional yacht shapes will always be required there. Both types have their place, and just like Formula 1 is not like touring cars, seeing the highest tech in America’s Cup series is a cut above the rest. The very first America’s cup was won by a yacht with technological advancements over British boats, and then Australia II wrestled it off the Americans with it revolutionary winged keel, these series have always been characterised by the latest tech. It is wonderful to see how far they have come.
in the past you had to be able to sail your boat from your place you race for to the race line if you didnt your were not allowed to enter the race
@@duncanlanceoliver194 In the past you had to bang rocks together to make a knife to butcher a mammoth.
So sad, I almost cried watching that, unbelievable passion shown by everyone.
It was hilarious 😂😂😂
@@jamesfletcher474
seriously!
its JUST a boat owned by some mega-rich dude.
no tears to be shed EVER unless someone gets seriously injured or dies.
@@TheSighphiguy It was extra funny because it was the americans
Please explain why you almost cried at a ridiculously expensive boat capsizing?
Exactly lol
This is a fate that could befall any of the boats competing. As a kid back in the early sixties I saw an Enterprise on Rotherham reservoir Picked up clean out of the water and dumped on the bank by a gust ,so not reserved for foilers only.
Believe it or not but I once got a funboat fully airborne when out for a bash in 37 knots. Hit a the bowwave of a passing RIB on a broad reach and bloody nearly broke the thing clean in half. There were stress lines across the width of the hull where it had buckled as the bow dug in and I vanished 10 metres forard
Great well put together guys 👍
I heard on ABC that the Captain had to be cut when he strapped himself in. He was under water.
Owww!!! Where was he cut? His Leg? Not his...
@@WickBeavers I think he meant that other people had to cut his straps off, not that he was cut himself.
Some of the other teams come in to help. ❤😭❤😭❤😭❤
So much for Ineos being a slow boat. 4-0 in the Prada Cup! The Americans struggling? Black is white!
this aged like fine milk
Finally, some footage of the rescue and salvage operations, where did you get access to all those shots
It seems that anything with the words 'American Patriot" is a disaster at the moment.....I'll get my coat.
Other than this race, I think anything with the name ‘American Patriot’ is the biggest winner. I’m an American Patriot, of Asian descent. I am a winner. :)
American is synonyms with highest dept , highest violent crime rate, highest gun crime, out of control racism, and a slew of other categories you're number 1 in
NZ did far more than help rescue this vessel.
They opened up their manufacturing facility to the US and built new CF panels to replace those ripped out during the crash.
Don't think this would happen in most other sporting arenas!
Great Video! 3:03 that is a hole in the boat right? Ouch
How did it occur? Seems so wierd
@@spingbay7039 Speculation is that some part of the foil mechanism punched through from the inside when it came crashing down.
@@PushbuttonFYM It looks like the whole side of the boat caved in, you can see cracked and damaged carbon running from the bow to just past the foils. The hole is the least of their problems, they need to rebuild an entire side of their boat in under 4 days, which I think is impossible. I think we will be seeing their first boat on the water come Friday.
The reflections from the hull make it a bit difficult to see what is going on, but the view at 3:21 seems to show brittle fractures propagating in multiple radial directions. You'd have to cut out any material that has been plastically deformed and/or demonstrate separation from the CFs. Integration with the remaining hull at the repair boundary will be hellishly difficult. And restoring the hull shape will be really interesting too. All the best of luck to the team in the hopes something can be done.
@@PushbuttonFYM Supposed update is its battery unit that made the hole, not foil mechanism (though likely foil mechanism hit unit inside I would think...). Also explains why they had no power to drop the foil arm during re-right like is seen in other capsizes
AMERICAN MAGIC TRAGIC !! DROP THAT MAIN SALE ON DEMAND.
In interview the US seemed to suggest they're missing round robins 3&4
Yes i think thats the caee now. They have a second chance by playing off the 2nd place finisher for the prada cup
The WEF with their 'we must learn to cooperate' lecturing do not understand that humanity already cooperates when it's necessary and does it really well.
TIMES of WINNING are over . The whole country is capsizing.
Sad but true...
Did you type WINNING but really meant WHINING?
Oh look, another jack wad proclaiming Kiwi righteousness. You guys must have full hospitals with all the broken arms from patting yourselves on the back.
@@DanielC__ German not a kiwi.
@@DanielC__ mate, first of all, most of us kiwis aren’t like that, we want the best for all the teams. Secondly, and I’m guessing your a yank, I’d probably keep comments like that to myself after the way the US has conducted itself over the last few years and still doing so. So stand quietly in the corner and don’t embarrass yourself or the decent Americans out there.
ac cup used to be competition of nations, today is competition of corporations.
yep at least it gives the spectacle of millions being shredded
@@jazldazl9193 it takes only one signature
@@beppogiglio that's for trillions.
It used to be a competition of yacht clubs. It still is, but advertising is the major financial motor for all professional sports.
Oh I feel sorry. Nice Team. The choosing of foils color is also nice ;)
seems strangely symbolic of our times
What a pain to get all the salt off! I’m glad I’m not on the crew!! This is all part and parcel of sailing though. We’ve all been through it.
After a week of witnessing the attack on our Capitol, it was so encouraging to see others come to the aid of the USA. Thank each and every one of you for your sportsmanship and care for fellow mankind.🤗🏆💙
New Zealand sends love and hopes you can get back on track under your great new administration :)
Teamwork makes the Dream work...
Sportsmanship. ✌️❤️🇳🇿
Woah that was a hell of a capsize ! These boats are freaking amazing but I never thought you could tip one over like that. Real shame about the damage, I hope they can repair it because they were flying !!
they wont be able to make the repair to the level would normally be reqiure to allow it to stay in but know they why the world works today they will get a pass just because if not the sport will instantly lose over half it viewers and the sport only manages to stay alive due to viewers and the money they bring in
fantastic sportsmanship
If that had been a 32 version boat it would have been on the bottom in 45 seconds...
I like the helicopter sounds...for the drone shots.
I hope they get it all fixed - we all want to see what they can do out on the race course.
The hull looks cracked/damaged well beyond the obvious hole - and how did their electronics fare?
Most are probably fine, they are probably all waterproof. maybe some motors and other small bits damaged, but overall the electronics are probably fine.
@@levio1463 I wouldn't be so sure of that. They would have some water proofing for sure, but I doubt it would have been designed to spend 8 hour submerged. Plus all of the connectors, wiring etc.
The other thing I was looking at was the leeward arm. It basically took all of the force and there could be some deformation around where it attaches to t he hull.
@@MartinSparkes-BadDragon No doubt. What do you suppose was the load imposed on that foil when the boat was dropped from height? Kinda like a compound fracture when breaking a leg
@@MartinSparkes-BadDragon Just watched the press conference, and a lot of our assumptions were wrong. they said they are replacing the entire foil cant system, electronics, and that section of the hull, with a lot of the components coming from their first boat. also the hole was just caused by the bulkheads cutting the cull in a weird way.
Such accidents are bad for the team but these guys are pioneering a technology that will improve and eventually be common place.
They tried to dump the main but the leeward runner was on. Cant make a mistake like that
These boats r INCREDIBLE
I see Ineos has moved from dominating the cycle sport to the sailing sport instead
It's sad to see the three years work of the entire team to desappear in a few seconds. The boat speed was impressive and I most say that they are much more than 0 points at the moment. Honour to American Magic and his crew.
I love wonderful communities.
These boats are the absolute bleeding edge of sailing technology.
And these boys race them at the absolute edge of what is possible.
You know, I was sad when the America's cup first went to court fighting over the rules etc. Always thought racing fast monohulls was what the Cup should be.
Years later, glad to say I have been proved wrong.
Just wild, technology has come so far!!
Is it a big hole in the hull on 3:17? How they got the hole during capsize?
Faaark! That's a 75 foot long boat.
A little bit of filler and she'll be right.
Or just some duct tape, if they're in a rush.
FlexSeal......
sort of a metaphor for the country itself.
Bit different to the old days - the NY yacht club would have sat back and sipped champers while competitors sank.
They also would have lopped off the head of the skipper responsible for this! Certainly, his name would have gone down in infamy.
Why am I not reading more about the complete botching of strategy by AM?! This move was completely unnecessary and lead to the capsizing. The strategy by AM through the weekend has left something to be desired.
Yep, that move seems risky in even normal winds. Maybe if they had been neck and neck it would have been worth the risk but not with a 30 second lead.
its a risky move because its easy to fall off the foils, not wipe out. The maneuver went quite smoothly until the running backstay wasn't released and caught the main sail, causing them to be unable to let the sail out enough.
@@levio1463 point being, they had such a lead, you only needed to get to the line. There was no reason to even try that there. Just get her home.
Dean Barker has overruled other members of his team a few times this week already and clearly, this is a lesson to him about doing that again. At least one suggested to him 30 seconds prior that they should take the other gate and not complicate the issue but he didn't listen
I think the botched strategy arises out of a botched attitude. Nothing can be greater or better than Americans. Today the wind was.
There is almost a political karma at work in naming the boat _Patriot._ Thankfully no one was seriously injured and this magnificent boat rescued. Rename her and try again!
Cool! nice video!
No explanation about the hole ???
Your analysis on why the capsize would have been good.
Easy they got hit by a squall as they were rounding a bouy with the foils down. The squall then sped them up therefore increasing the lift from the foils to the point where the foils then broke the surface of the water. Now not enough righting force to counter the heeling force of the squall and over they go.
Props to the foil and the linkage for being so damn strong. I would have imagined them shattered when the boat landed
The linkage broke off and punched a hole through the boat.
@@slooob23 Can you share your source? I would be interested to read up.
@@slooob23
I agree with that.
The shape of the hole shows cleary that
@@slooob23 from the videos the hole seems to be not connected to the foils, the whole arm and linkage seemed in good shape to me
@@salmiakki5638 you could be right, another person suggested it could have been the batteries.
Very proud of all teams for pulling together to put American magic back on the water.

0:44 Tabarnak! Bonjour du Québec!

Pride goes before the Fall.
Looking at the hole and the fracturing down the hull I would say it's only good for the bin being that it is carbon fibe
Perhaps patch it up just to finish the race and then bin it. Perhaps not even that.
@@Phaidrus I hope that they can but carbon fiber is not an easy product to patch but who knows these people have some of the best in the business working for them
I heard they said they probably won't be able to make it back in on time. Sad.
I'll take it off their hands for a tenner.
That's repairable. We've put carbon fiber masts back together, and that's a much harder task than this. What might bin it, however, would be if there is severe structural damage internally. That could be a much more catastrophic issue, but I'd have to see it in person to know.
I'm not surprised AM has a lot of damage. You can't get away with zero damage at those speeds. I just hope that the crew are all ok, no broken bones or sprains etc.
The wind does not lie. The gust reminds me of the fetterman speech and the flags being blown over.
Patriot my arse. America is Rome 2point oh now
My heart goes out to the crew. What a horrible moment and development for their team. But I have to wonder about the state of yacht racing when the yacht designs are so fragile that they can have such a catastrophic failure from a small gust on a light-wind day. There is absolutely no chop here! I did my fair share of sailing in the off-shore fleet back in the 1980s and90s where we had some serious chop once in awhile - 2-4 feet for the longer haul races. But now it seems yacht design and sailing-by-software is first and skip and team skill seems to have become secondary. While the high-tech designs are amazing, I am hoping for a change back to basics and where anyone can complete. It just seems to be about who has the deepest pockets to build the fastest yacht now. Not very inclusive. And, if it is not inclusive, then where is the sportsmanship in that?
Without competitions that push the technology beyond the edge of what is normal there is no progress. If your logic was followed, we would still be using waxed cotton sails...
It is not the only sailing competition out there - it is just the most extreme one and as such elitist by definition. It is like complaining how expensive it is to field a Formula one team. And just as in car racing there is enough lower classes for anybody interested to get into the sport.
As for the lack of skills necessary to sail these boats... Seriously!? Have you even watched a race?
AC ist the Formula 1 for Boats, all the developement is financed here and will help constructing future vessels... i think its acceptable that its not that inclusive
@@SierraLimaOscar Mate - did you read the above? Sailed in the off-shore fleet for over eight years racing on C&C 35s, Beneteau 35, J41s, etc. No need to get nasty! It’s social-media, not trash-media. This is a venue for expressing and sharing opinions. There is no reason to get personal about it.
That bit of water hides the true wind speed as it comes off the land in a squall - Parents have a house that over looks that patch of water, so I am well versed in the sea state at the time. If you look closely at the water during the rounding of the mark there is so much wind that the chop was blown flat - Watching this live I would have guessed the leading edge of the squall line in excess of 35knts, well outside the limits these boats are expected to handle. Luna Rosa's reaction was to drop the hull into the water very quickly and point the nose of their boat directly into the wind and then keep the keel in the water as any sort of foiling would have blown them flat. They then carried on down the course in this manner. What surprised me is Dean Barker has spent his childhood racing this particular patch of water and he knows what the conditions were. Would at some stage sit down and have a beer and ask "what was going on Mate ?" Goes to show that even after a life time on this patch of water it still catches people out. Well done the other support teams for getting there as fast as they could and for a touch of niceness during the long slow haul back to the dock that Team NZ came out with Pizza's for the crew...a beer as well would have been nice...but this is serious stuff. We are all thankful that only gear was damaged and not people. We NZ'ders will do everything in our power to assist the Americans back to the water and hope that they will get back to competing as soon as possible.
Impressionnant l'envolée, j'espère que le voilier pourra être réparé. Belle entraide entre équipes et joli coup de pub pour Emirate Fly Better.....
Brotherhood of the sea
All going to plan with the Brits, who for sure lulled the opposition into a false sense of security about their real ! capability .
It’s the same way MercF1 operates in Formula1.
Sandbag in the preseason with generic parts then show up to the first race with the “good” stuff.
Their CFD prowess and computing power are as good as it gets.
It’ll be hard to beat the German engineering at this point.
Our new secret weapon don't said a word sir I just want to help
That guy should never sail again..Even I understand that you have to let go of the sails
They got hit by a squall at a really bad moment and its not so easy to let go the sails in one of those boats. Not the helmsmans fault. It could just as easily be blamed on the person manning the hydrofoil he should have adjusted the flap angles to reduce the lift to stop them flying out of the water.
@@jamesday7339 YOu're right , I'm just a suday sailor..But no other boat had even a similar handling..Weather same for all.
@@bergssprangare "Weather same for all." Not true at all. A gust is just another way of saying turbulence. In turbulence the "weather" is very different everywhere.
@@blindleader42 I mean same risk for everyone, but none had a similar incident.. They must have done something different..
Волшебство !!
I always thought of making a cruiser boat out of one of these
You know how bad this idea is, right?
Imagine seeing one of these back in the 1700s or so just buzzing by not even touch the water.
Look, Jesus at the helm!
Sorry for the US misfortune, but I really wish AC could go back to sailboats that actually sail in the water instead of over it.
I miss the twelve miters. Real stately boats that were not all cookie cutter designs
Simply impossible to agree more!
@@boblister665 Yes, and inaddition to the boats, the crew were changing sails and grinding the winches. Seemed more like sailing to me than these new boats. I stopped caring about AC and focused more on the Ocean Challenge. But now they too are going for these foiling boats. It really sucks.
No way. This is a blast!
The very fact that persons make the time & effort to comment here refutes the claim of not caring. That's okay Fonz caring isn't a weakness and your friends will still like you. 😎👍
in Auckland waterfront a container ship blasted 7 short 1 long, we were wondering why, now I know!
What fantastic sailboats. So fast just using wind power
Tripulación: Capitán, Capitán, el barco zozobra¡¡¡
Capitán: Mas vale que zozobre, que no que "zosfalte"
.
Looks like the fore anchor support to the port foil mechanism punched through the hull as she splashed down after her 'take off'. Fixable?
If it’s carbon fiber then most likely yes you can layer it up and shape the hull any which way
@@joebloggs7177 True. But I was thinking about the gear inside that may have made the hole.
Fothering sail in action. Nice save.
Did they hit something to cause that hole then taking on water cause instability?
rule the waves
What caused the hole !!!
