Tom Slingsby and his Australian crew have been hit with a devastating blow after a dramatic collision with a course mark during the first fleet race of the Championship Sunday forced the team to retire from racing altogether. The collision occurred as Australia and Canada were approaching the first mark of the race at speed. Australia driver Tom Slingsby made a split second decision to manoeuvre away to avoid a potentially catastrophic collision with the Canada Team's F50 and crew, instead hitting the course mark, causing extensive damage to the Flying Roo.

The mast, daggerboards, crossbeam, compression beam, and bowsprit are all made of carbon fiber. The main bulkheads are in carbon composite, the others are in high-grade composite. ▫️ And she has a powerful sailplan.

The sea was still. So were we. No agenda. No hurry. Just the sound of water touching the boat and the kind of sleep you don’t get on land. #sailinggreece #greece #sailing #sailingadventures #travel #sailingvideo
