AC40 capsize crash Team New Zealand America's Cup test boat AC40 - catastrophic damage

The team were testing under manual flight control to the north of Waiheke Island in around 15-20 knots of windspeed and large waves. While sailing downwind at over 40 knots of boat speed, the crew onboard lost control of the ride height which caused the rudder and elevator to come out of the water. This resulted in a high-speed uncontrolled gybe and simultaneous deep nosedive followed by a capsize. Video courtesy of Emirates Team New Zealand media team
