Soon as the gust hits if there’s no ease it’s over.    There was quite clearly an effort to ease but the runner impedes 

Have to keep the boat under the rig.  If not game over

Yeah at 2:47:30 they start turning basically on the "2" part of the count. Whoever's voice was that didn't want to make the turn that quickly. Unless it was DB and then that's confusing. 

I remember thinking live that the coms messed up and that was why it was out of sync. Weren't the commentators talking about how it seemed like no one could hear DB? Or something?

Rewatching the crash you can hear an audible crack when the foil touches back down after being airborne (unless that's something slapping the water)

I’m not so familiar with decimal odds, but does that mean you can place equal money on all the challengers (US, UK and Italy) and provided NZ don’t win you’ll still make a profit?

Very close to the same profit you'd make if you put a challenger's worth of money on ETNZ and it won.

edit...Oops, in one case only, otherwise  a load of rubbish, disregard.

Look Terry and Deano make an awful tactical combination..  Goes all the way back to the 2007 America’s Cup.  Hutch and Deano REFUSED to take the right off the starts.  Race after race they allowed Alinghi the right and Alinghi bludgeoned them tack after tack and reduced ETNZ to a pile of rubble.  
 

They don’t make the best sailing decisions, been like that for years..

Exactly my thought when I heard that both are in the same team again.

Hell yes. I've bitched about TH calls in Valencia right here before

Just doesn’t look like the best position to be as a tactician whilst doing 40 + knots.

TH smacks a bit of Lord Daltons efforts in San Fransisco.

Bloody stupid idea, the Brits are doing it better with a dedicated tactician

Except Daly’s wasn’t calling tactics. Davies was wasn’t he

Putting him back on the boat is not a bad idea we need a dedicated technician on ETNZ. Just tell the grinders they have to work harder

Based on what was seen today Casper can’t multi task nor should he being no spring chicken his wattage output would not exactly be optimum the sunglasses went west in a desperate search for clarity and he was oh so quiet.

Decent lead, one leg to go, squall coming, go high risk?

Something definitely broke off when it hit.

You can see it floating in the wake, I thought it was a crew-member at first.

Might be something from the cockpit but I'm betting hinge cover from the timing.

Edit:

Just popping up here above the USA

Edit2: the floating bit Nav points out in the foreground

Saw something (black carbon) further out to stb just as the first chase boat came in

2:49:16

The US Coast Guard ordered that. 

BS as Rennie (resident Cup Historian) pointed out

Save the spin...

TV schedules are more important than wind conditions since the AC in SF.

Its a pretty big chunk

THE JUMP:



The port foil telemetry seems ok, so the mechanism might be intact:

 

[hoom]

Peoples foiler.

There, I said it.

LSD has the boat being pulled out now

Both foil arms still attached.

Looked like a big dark hole in the port bow.
