Re: racing yacht sinks
Ah, I suppose I should have read the caption a little more carefully. Never mind then.

Re: racing yacht sinks
So true. MSN chaps must be looking for filler to keep things interesting.

Re: racing yacht sinks
Well, I for one never saw this video. Was made before Al Gore invented the internet I guess. So yacht was flexing and finally gave up appears. Thanks for sharing.

First time I've seen it. Possibly the best quote ever (in broad Austrian drawl): "the boat is turning into a banana!" : )

Re: racing yacht sinks
Didn't one of the US Challengers do the same thing and sink when the Cup was sailed off San Diego??

Re: racing yacht sinks
Very interesting to watch, actually. Had not seen it before either.
But, eh, Astrid, you really didn't spot this yacht was 20 years old? It really looks ancient if you've watched any recent racing.
