Oracle Racing Pitchpole Last Month

If you haven't seen it, this is dramatic video of Oracle Racing accidentally capsizing one of their racing boats in San Francisco. They were unveiling a new class of catamarans ahead of races leading up to the 2013 America's Cup when the boat pitched over. Nobody was injured during the incident. A crew member can be seen falling through an expensive sail.

July 14 - The Race that Wasn't

The winds were too light to produce any kind of headway for the fleet, but it made for some nice photo opportunities.

Due to this race being called off because of no wind, this five-race series has been reduced down to four races. This will be done by borrowing a race from the next race series making the next series a four race series also.
