American Magic survive Auckland capsize
Hi neighbours,
American Magic have recovered from a capsize of their America’s Cup boat in Auckland.
The United States syndicate tipped over Defiant while training on the eastern side of Browns Island in decent winds on Sunday.
They were able to quickly come upright again and continue sailing.
The incident further validates the safety elements in the design of the radical 75-foot foiling monohull.
American Magic weren’t commenting on the incident as a matter of team policy, other than to say they were able to complete “a full session” on Sunday.
