Right Tender, Wrong Team!
We
thought this was BMW/Oracle, but it looks like our source was a little
confused about the ownership of the Extreme 40 that we reported on this
morning. An X-40 did break its rig and forward crossbeam more than a week
ago, but it wasn’t BMW/Oracle. The brand new boat is owned by +1 Racing/Team
Draper – a British iShares team. That is indeed a BMW
tender helping out, but not their cat. The beam broke during a training
session against the U.S. team, and was towed to shore along with their
rig. No one was injured. Apparently this is the second crossbeam broken
on the new boat in just a few weeks. Our bad.
