When things go wrong on an RC44! On the first day of fleet racing at the RC44 Oman Cup, Team Aqua’s bow hit the stern of Ironbound at the first weather mark of the last race.
When Ironbound was rounding the bottom gate, first a piece of the bottom of her scoop came off and then the entire scoop fell off.
