Dramatic scenes during the challenger round of the 36th America’s Cup: In the sixth game of the preliminary round between Italy and America, the American yacht “Patriot” of the American Magic team capsized. The team was in the lead and headed for a possible first win after three defeats in a row.
Shortly before the end of the day, the crew of eleven people around Skipper Terry Hutchinson and Helmsman Dean Barker fired their yacht in a strong blast into the air like a rocket and then lay on its side. According to initial reports, the team remained unharmed in the early Sunday morning crash in Germany and received help from the organizers, as well as other teams, during the ship’s recovery that was still underway that morning. The victory of the race went to Patrizio Bertelli’s Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli team with helmsmen Francesco Bruni and Jimmy Spithill.
Previously, Sir Ben Ainslie’s British Ineos Team UK prevailed against the Italians and extended their lead in the Prada Cup to 4-0. Second in the table are the Italians with 2: 2 points ahead of the Americans without winning (0: 4). The Challenger Round of the 36th America’s Cup will continue on January 22. The three challenging teams fight for the right to challenge the defending New Zealand Cup in match 36 of the America’s Cup.
