Incredible video footage of the crash between Alinghi and Team Extreme in the fourth race of today at Act 3 of the Extreme Sailing Series Extreme Sailing Series #extremesailing in Istanbul.
In breezy conditions and gusts over 19 knots, it was a classic port/starboard incident, as Alinghi tried to go behind Team Extreme but didn’t make and hit Roland Gaebler’s boat hard. A crew from each boat were thrown into the water on the impact. With a large hole in the back of port hull, Team Extreme was kept afloat by a support RIB. They were towed to the technical area and craned out. Both Alinghi, with bow sprit damage, and Team Extreme are out of the game for the rest of the day.
One of the Alinghi crewmen, Yves Detrey, suffered a minor injury in the collision and was taken off the boat just after the crash with an injury to his left arm but confirmed as not serious.
