Here is what happens if you cut the design corners a little too tight when designing a racing boat. "There was a lot wind at the time, and it was raining," said the crew's skipper John Bertrand, his hair still wet as he described the mishap later. "The seas were very difficult for this type of boat. I had my head down at the time, and there was a loud crack, almost like a cannon going off. The sailboat's rig started to fold the boat across the center like a sheet of cardboard. It was a sickening sound to hear the boat breaking up."
