Oracle Team USA Almost Capsizes Again

In this video, sailing team manager Tom Slingsby credits wing trimmer Tom Johnson with keeping the boat from capsizing last week. Click the photo to play the video. Remember that TJ was also doing wing trim when they did capsize back in March.

Look at the starboard hull! After the nosedive, the cockpits are completely swamped. Doing this in a race next year will lose a lot of distance, waiting for the cockpits to drain! The rule allows drains of 0.01 m2 in area for each cubic meter of volume.
