SailGP Crash

A dramatic high speed crash during practice racing has ended Mubudala Brazil’s hopes of competing in the Germany Sail Grand Prix. The front beam of the team’s F50 collapsed in a high-impact nosedive during the second practice race in Sassnitz.

No crew were injured, but it is not possible to repair the boat in time for racing this weekend. An investigation into the incident is underway.

Just before moments, Quentin Delapierre’s France team suffered damage to their F50 causing their boat to fall off their foils.
