The America's Cup

Got this news not to long ago and like to share. Notice the Cost Guard to the rescue!

The America's Cup champion syndicate is assessing the damage to its 72-foot (22-meter) catamaran, after it capsized and was swept by a strong current more than four miles (six kilometers) past the Golden Gate Bridge before rescue boats could control it.
