I initially thought it looked like the whole port fool arm was ripped off, but luckily that was not the case, you could see atleast the arm when they righted her. But, the hull may well be cracked around the foil. I thought that she was floating a lot lower than ETNZ when she was still on her side, probably started filling up very quickly.
