More shots of AC 72

Here are a couple more shots of the Oracle flip. From what I have heard, the wing sail is gone and they towed the hull to shore, no word on if the hull is seriously damaged. The crew made it through without injury, but the conditions of the bay when they flipped is what the boats with have to deal with during the actual AC next summer. 25 knots is not uncommon and if the boats over-power there is not much that can be done to stop a flip. What it looked like was the boat turned down wind and the huge wing pushed the front under.

The giant wing just kept the pressure on the boat and since the front was underwater, the wing just push the boat end over end. Once over, the wasn't much they could do to flip it back over, it is just to big. It will be interesting to see what happens next. Maybe Team New Zealand will also flip???
