More Footage of the Aussies’ SailGP Wing Collapse

The SailGP weekend in San Francisco was filled with the typical thrills and spills. What we weren’t expecting was the moment when the Australian team’s entire wing collapsed and came crashing down to the waterline. Fortunately, no one was hurt. But the question of what happened remains.

Meanwhile, we’ve been seeing various video clips of that exact moment when the Aussies’ San Francisco podium hopes fell away. We thought you might like to see the clips.

We haven’t yet learned what went wrong; we expect the SailGP jury is still deliberating. Australian skipper Tom Slingsby told Nine Wide World of Sports it was all “a bit of a blur.” Perhaps time will tell.
