No 8 wire and some kiwi boat builders will have that fixed by Tuesday, earlier if you don’t mind the paint not matching

No wonder it nearly sank

 

[Rushman]

That looks nothing like the bit that was delivered to the base earlier

 

[Tropical Madness]

i wonder if there was something left in the sewer that had some weight... which became inertia and punched this massive hole?

 

[mako23]

What a job list

pull out all the internals ( Hydraulics and electronics)

fix the hole or holes

fix the internal systems

test the internals

reinstall internals 

test boat

 

[Rennmaus]

Maybe she'll be faster after the repair (I'm making lemonade like crazy now).

 

[mikenz2]

Showing more of the extent, forward and aft of the hole.

 

[hoom]

Hadn't realised the floaty bit & its landing had already been posted on the Prada Cup thread

Crikey, looks like the integrity of most of the hull has been compromised.  My optimism level has just plunged.

 

[hoom]

Yep, stick a fork in Patriot its cooked.

Defiant or withdraw.

I’m guessing it was a hydraulic ram sheering off it’s mounts then continuing through the side of the boat.

Ram for what?
 

Foils seem to be in the down position

Gravity will do that without a ram holding them up.

 

[james3232]

Yeah 100% ram pushing through the hull on touchdown IMO

 

[Rushman]

Gravity will do that without a ram holding them up.

Sorry.. in the down position while sailing, not in the fully down position when on the cradle

FCS rams still connected IMHO

If they haven’t destroyed the mold for Patriot they could rebuild the port bow section and fly it out to NZ
