Skipper Tom Slingsby and the defending SailGP champion Australian crew capsized the US team's foiling 50-foot catamaran on Bermuda's Great Sound today during its first training session for the global tour's season opener.
Slingsby said there were only minor injuries and the boat was quickly righted before being towed back to base.
US skipper Jimmy Spithill said there was enough damage that the high-tech boat could be out of action for a few days.
