Ben Ainslie said of their test day they were, "bow-up", and they had a "slam-down", resulting on a capsize, and ultimately a complete "roll-over", with lithium fires. Not the best result for any boat. It was reminiscent of Auckland. This is the weekly Sailing global Highlights show, the World on Water, February 10 2023. It’s Day 12 of Leg 2 of The Ocean Race and the crew on Malizia caught a fishing net on their foil! They had to go on a mission and climb down onto the foil, while travelling at 25 knots, to cut it off. INEOS Britannia, Britain's challenger for the 37th America's Cup, has suffered damage to their T6 Test Boat after a capsize incident during a test day on Palma Bay, Mallorca. INEOS Britannia Skipper and Team Principal Sir Ben Ainslie said, “It was a tough situation for the team once T6 fully inverted. Everyone came together well to resolve what could have been a much more serious issue in salvaging the yacht. Thankfully everyone is safe, and we can now focus on repairing the damage as part of a pre-scheduled upgrade window at the end of this week.” Popular French Vendee Globe Sailor Clarisse Cremer, has been dropped by her sponsor Banque Populaire just after she had a baby in November 2022. Banque Populaire's dropping of Clarisse Cremer has caused widespread outrage among the offshore sailing community, and has become a huge national story in France. Cremer, who currently holds the record for being the fastest woman to sail solo around the world, raced for Banque Populaire in the last Vendée Globe, and was due to take the helm of the former Apivia for the same backers in the 2024 race. Emirates Team New Zealand has started two boat testing in Auckland. Peter Burling helms one, and Nathan Outteridge, the other. It is interesting as Pete was interviewed after day one, and did he admit to "Sandbagging?". There was a record-breaking start for the Canada Ocean Racing team on their journey to the Vendee Globe in 2028. The Canadian flagged team, Scott Shawyer and Alan Roberts, broke the RORC Transatlantic Course Record in the double-handed class by more than 8 hours. The mentor for the IMOCA team is Alex Thomson, of Hugo Boss fame.
