Tremendous display of humility, gratitude and determination. 👏👏👏
Dear Terry, with your reaction and your humility you have caught more hearts than the win of the Americas cup. Respect. I love people like you and it says so much about you and your Team. 👍👍💪💪😎😎
V8 7
RESPECT FOR THIS GREAT PERSON 🇮🇹
Uno sportivo ed un campione, great respect
What a class act. A true leader. Looking forward to seeing how this cup plays out.
Glad to see no one was seriously hurt. Cheers to NZL for lending their facilities to help the Americans get back in the fight. True sportsmanship. I was at the AC34 pier as we watched NZL almost capsize in Race 8. As NZL recovered, we all cheered and fans, NZL and US , exchanged high-fives. It's a great sporting community! Looking forward to seeing Patriot return.
What a great man Terry Hutchinson is and what a great story this has already made and could yet continue to make. I may be a Brit who backs our team to the hilt but I'd love to see these guys come back well. America against the British in the Prada final has a good ring to it!
I’m with you nostagicyears - a Brit behind Rita - but as we lived the emotion with Ineos through Christmas you really feel that here. USA will have the boat but they and Italy need to sharpen comma and eyes on the course & conditions.🤙
Aye, Team BRita vs Patriot for deciding the Offical "Challenger", this Will Be truly the best case Scenario-OK. aloha nui P.S. Wonder What would Be The Mo-Bettah/Mo-Bigga "Success~Story" for The Auld Mug return to the Northern Latitudes GBR/RYS or USA/NYYC; Indeed- What Is Best for the Perpetuation for Sailing Universally to Advance and Generation Perpetuate Support and Backing; Hmm I/We Wonder?!
No matter who it is at sea in distress, you help them.
Great team, as a kiwi I'm so stoked the locals have rallied around a team in need and helped out.
These guys are true professionals and will be back this week.
I hope they go forward and win the prada cup.
We are all very impressed with you kiwi’s right now. To tell the truth the help given wasn’t much of a surprise. Why? Because you kiwi’s usually act with a lot of class.
Great video, I had no idea Terry couldn’t eject!!! Really glad everyone is safe and I can’t wait to see some more racing next weekend!!
Pretty proud of the way the other teams and the NZ community reacted to this, there was no hesitation to help, this is the true meaning and spirit of sport and the beauty of what is possible out of difficult times. Hutchinson has given such a great example of how to react to a truly horrible situation, with humility and bravery. As a Kiwi supporter, I hope that the semi-final is brilliant and that American Magic get the boat out there and get to sale it to its full potential
So cool and casual... "I've lost the rudder." When it hits the fan, the importance of good training always reveals itself!!
We need a good story of American ingenuity, strength, and winning spirit... this team will bring us that in the future as Patriot comes back together. What needs to be recognized here though is that it took a collective effort to save Patriot and this was truly a world effort as displayed by all the teams that came together to help.
This is a good example for all of us to follow... when the boat goes over, we all need to come together to right her, assess the situation, and get things underway again.
Nothing like dennis conner! A real gentleman.
Kia kaha - Stay strong! 💪
I didn‘t like AM with all the arrogance they had displayed. But now listening to terry about how thankful he is for all the help they became from the other teams and all the others people involved that really changes my mind! And looking in his eyes when he talks about the minute under water gives me goosbumps! Thanks for that interview and thanks to terry to be so open and honest! Good luck!
What fascinating insights into what must have been a depressing day. The amazing team work and comradery of the teams and the event organizers is truly inspiring. Personally I am for Ineos but next weekend i might have to spare a little cheer for American Magic.
Good for Terry Hutchinson that he diverts attention from the ascription of fault. That should stay within the team. This demonstrates his leadership skills--provided that his goal is to get that boat back on the water ASAP and do some winning. Go get 'em, America!
Terry you are real legend!
Very humble, very nice and gladly very determined to get back out there. Well done Thierry Hutchinson and American Magic team.
Good luck guys. Like the attitude.
Barker is always cool in a crisis. " I've lost the rudder" will go down as the understatement of the regatta... Get that thing fixed and get back out there... Good luck...
I am sorry to say this, but I think Dean is part of the problem not the solution.
I would love to be proven wrong.
Its a new boat design, like a narrow catamaran, not many have experience in heavy weather with. Too much sail for the wind, It was simply too late to make a decision that would have worked, to avoid confusion he had to stick with his decision.
Vendee globe fleet are using similar foiling design, but use canting keel, as they are taken offshore, this ensures they don't fall over.
@@O89-p7o Totally agree with you. Have followed Barker for most of his professional career and was not surprised when this happened. It was the wrong call and they obviously did not have their rigging under control either.
@@sticky59 Think back??? Goodison is a very smart sailer. He was on the Windward side of the boat. He seen the problem. Hutchison and Barker were in the Leeward side of the boat. The never seen the problem. Tack and bearaway compared to Gybe bearaway??? It's a no brained for me, they had a 500 metre lead.
@@thehighlander959 You have your facts wrong Goodison and Barker were in the same side. Look at 30:00 in th-cam.com/video/N8--jRxcXgM/w-d-xo.html. Other than that you are right..
What great sportsmanship. Awesome job to our American team and thanks New Zealand, what a way to bring countries together!!!!!
Wouw...create piece, down to earth, honourable and emotional at the same time !
So glad all crew were safe scary stuff trapped under water. Looking forward to seeing them on the water again. Kia Kaha
Seeing all the teams come together like this makes this a strong contender as my favorite moment in sporting history.
I can only wish that politicians had that same spirit of working together.
Terry n all of u guys stay strong 💪
Like phoenix u will fly again
U got all my respect
'we're all in this together'. story of the planet.
Indeed ! Sharing and Caring The Gift of Unconditional Aloha Nui... Keep Pulling The Apparent, and Enjoy Your "given" GLIDE. me ke aloha pumehana jj i s~c.
So much respect to the team, the people, the boat; everyone. I’m a Brit (go Rita!), but to have Magic in the Prada cup final would be epic!
It is a horrible thing that happened, but the literal “All hands on deck” response from everyone involved (including NZ first responders and the other teams) makes this one of the best examples for sportsmanship I’ve ever seen.
The event has always been the pinnacle of sailing constantly testing teams and technology and unfortunately these accidents happen but fortunately with no loss of life. The team will be back and with a renewed ambition that comes from being world class sportsmen. Although I’m a Brit supporting our boat I’ll also be supporting these guys.
no one had sailed this type of yacht before i think nz capsized earlier to see how far they could push that manouvre as these boats arent sailed the same as all the usual racing yachts
Courage and count on your whole team capability to overcome the current situation. I strongly believe you Will be on the final.
Still arguably the sleekest looking boat,
coming back with a few battle scars will be even better.
Awesome the boat will be ready for next weekend, great sportsman ship from other teams Hutchinson talent over ego, Barker ego over talent
Terry is all class. There is a reason he was a TNZ member at AC32 in 2007.
Nothing better than a come back store. Heads up boys, keep your eye on the prize.
So I'm guessing that the architects will review the need for bigger fillets on the transverse bulkheads to distribute that stress. Maybe a minimum weight rule would discourage engineering to the edge (if that is not already there).
Good luck to the whole team - I really want to see American Magic in the water and racing hard again in the semi's
We love ya brother
Looks like the Main Sail was not eased as they were bearing away and the gust hit. Also, the leeward runner was still tight which impeded dumping load from the Main.
From re-watching the capsize, I still agree with the initial diagnosis of the commentators that the primary reason for the capsize was the port running backstay being taught, which prohibited the depowering when the mainsail was released causing the boat to lean and leap out of the water. Also, watching the return to the water, it looked like the foil cushioned the blow of the hull hitting the surface of the water, so I feel there is a little more to the story than the water causing the hull damage which perhaps might have resulted in damage being pushed into the hull, rather than a fragment that looked like it may have been a piece pushed out of the hull. Look, its easy to be 8,085 miles away to be an armchair reviewer, so take this with a pinch of salt, please review the videos and form your own opinions.
The most important outcome is that everybody is safe, so the safety equipment and procedures worked, could they be improved? Yes, I believe a large or several large inflatable devices could have been inserted into the hull through the upper port that you see being opened in the video and inflated inside the hull to reduce water volume inside the hull and remove the risk of sinking.
Then sheets of sticky materials (like fablon) that could be inserted over the hole in the hull to reduce the ingress. 3M may make such a material, similar to their tinted windows materials which is reinforced to limit the impact of impact from hammers of explosions. (As developed for London to keep explosions inside or prohibit explosions from the street going into buildings.)
A few rounding buoy's and air pumps kept on the rescue boats could have reduced the risks of sinking quite quickly as soon as the first boats arrived at the scene.
I think I saw somewhere that the battery that powers the hydros for the foils broke free and caused the damage to the hull.
Basically became a loose cannonball inside the boat.
Impressive spot for the sails indeed. When the Sea asks the toll, all sails men act like One team to rescue each other.
Era la barca più forte dell’americas cup sfortunati purtroppo ❤❤❤❤❤
It is a great shape.
I am so impressed to see these men are resolved no matter what kind of problems they encounter. So much to learn from such resilient people. I acknowledge this type of resolve exists in all of those teams in that are involved in this the AC contest / sailing family.
Glad all are ok
No mention of the leeward runner not being released
They have the worst audio on all the Americas cup videos. Music way too loud. For all the racing live footage clashes with commentary.
Brits are sipping champagne, US are fixing their boat, ETNZ are watching in the comfort of their homes, and Prada is filing certification protests...
This comment didn't age very well....
You have the Americans who stormed the Capitol and you have this guy. From a UK perspective that’s refreshing.
I was so gutted for Dean and the boys..from NZ..
I couldn't imagine being stuck under water waiting for someone to hopefully notice and cut me free.
I know this won’t resonate well with some but Fuck Me mate! That was a seriously distressing situation. I’ve been attached to a capsizing 70 ft yacht in big swell with my finger on the trigger to release the harness and boy were a lot of scenarios and outcomes running through my mind!
Go Patriot!
I've watch several explanations and still don't know what happened
It fell over like a catamaran, a narrow one at that. Too much wind for the sail, no keel to right the boat.
@@bethells86 righting was not a problem - wthout the hole it should self-right. The issue was a poor bearaway with the unreleased backstay preventing the sail being depowered.
@@jonathanlodge4014 That’s the clear and obvious cause of the capsize, what’s the cause for the unreleased backstay?
@@rcpmac they haven't said much beyond blaming a rapid rise in wind speed and that they have coarse and fine adjustments for the backstay. They needed to but didn't release the coarse adjustment...
23 knots of wind happened..It had all been so changeable out there that day..If that puff had not happened we wouldn't be having this conversation..
Scary stuff!
What seems obvious to me is that since Dean was steering from the leeward side going in to the mark he could not see the puff coming. If he had seen it coming he might have made a different call. Terry was grinding and so he did not see the puff either or he might have called for a different tactic. The other tactic would have been to tack but not to bear away as part of the same maneuver but rather to bear away a little later. Goodi said over the intercom that it was going to be a hard maneuver but that apparently did not carry the weight of a need to change the plan. But one has to remember that these guys weren't sailing a Laser. Communication is not instant like when a Laser sailor changes his mind. Team decisions take more time and unfortunately in this situation there was very little time. That's no one's fault. That's the nature of sailing a big racing boat. A big puff hit at a critical moment. It's really just bad luck.
Dean was told twice the Jibe was a hundy shorter and the better choice, then the point was made it was a hard manoeuvre. Hutchinson has been solid throughout.
@@Greatagain-eagle Subsequent to making this remark I viewed a video showing analysis and a different view of American Magic just before the tack. Barker, Goodison and Hutchinson are all on the weather side of the boat. They are all looking at the oncoming puff from effectively the same spot. They all see the same thing. So what it boils down to is Barker gets to make the decision by virtue of him being the helmsman, not that he had any different data than the other two. Bad decision or bad luck? Hard to say. But for sure the boat would have had a better chance if the starboard running backstay had been released which clearly it wasn't. The upper half of the mainsail would have been significantly depowered. So far the American Magic team has been very coy about saying who was responsible for the stay not being loosened. It's not a difficult thing to ascertain. Anyone who knows the boat should be able to tell you where that control is located. Then you can just look and see who's stationed there. But so far no one is talking.
@@swerne01 I agree about the back stay but I think the chap with the most information was behind Dean Barker, he had a longer, clearer view. I say that because he had no other job, like steering, or grinding in those moments. Perhaps he was waiting to release the RBS. He also carried enough seniority to specifically speak as to the choice to be made. He said it twice. Bad call or bad luck - both I think, a gust on a gust. 12 up to 18 then double down to 25! As to who’s to blame for running back stay not being released; equipment or human failure came after the choice was made to round into the puff. It is possible that a part of it being a “difficult” manoeuvre is achieving such trimming in that condition. Barker turns to check on the advice... so is this simply a case of a strategic call falling into a moment of confusion amplified by the gusts and the back stay? At some point the learning must be made and as I watched live I was clear that approaching that mark all they had to do was round it safely to win. I have enjoyed plenty of heavy weather cat racing and when a sound lead is held, play a safe card especially in conditions that can be catastrophic because typically cats will punish you harshly. Having said that, the safe card call day after day in SanFran lost the regatta, so, sad to see these guys go especially given how well Patriot was performing on the day. It’s a tough game.
We should fire all the politicians in the world and put these teams in charge of our countries. They would all be fiercely competitive to drive each other to be successful AND also help each other however needed. And, at the end of the day, they would all head to the pub for a pint!
Sorry for the disaster and glad no one was injured. Meanwhile nobody is talking about who is responsible for the unreleased backstay fiasco. I suspected something like this might happen the moment I heard that AM was in the hands of Hutchinson and Barker.
That's a bit harsh.
We can rebuild her. Make her better than before... The New York Bionic Yacht Club!
If USA wants the Cup back - don’t let the NYC Yacht Club be the sponsor anymore.
Listen up Terry bring it home I still sail but it’s called kite boarding. Can not believe what this team has done.
That's the moment when we probably lost the strongest challenger. Life isn't fair sometimes, or better say often...
a very extreme boat built to go fast too fast.
...and there will be another capsize... big splash in practice after the fix 2as the same problem...wind blowing under the fuselage to lift the whole boat up and turn it in the air and stall the sails...bad hull underbelly design, not enough keel or ridge under there to direct the wind up and over onto sails and to put pressure on the foil, rather than picking the whole boat in the air and tossing it back for a crash
Why didn’t the foils go to the uprightening position, both foils under the boat?
the foil system broke as the boat fell back into the water
Almost irrelevant, since the boat was holed and sinking
Who's geez?
I'm really sorry for the Patriots, I think they were the strongest at that moment, but Terry had too many responsibilities on board, and at 52 you can't even be a Grinder! let's be honest the roles must be shared equally on board. Ciao and
Goo LunaRossa Goo ❤🇮🇹💪⛵
Still no comment on who's fault this was??
Dean Barker made a bad decision in the face of good advice.
I remember what Terry Hutchinson said in the past weeks. Not one stone will be on the table. That was not so positiv. The others sailors are at the same niveau. Now Mr. Hutchinson is under the table. Arogancy always is the question, where to be finally. The poor Team, i,m sorry for them. I wish you the best of luck to the Team American Magic.
Easily could have lost a good soul here. I’ve been caught under a sail. Add strapped in place and I can say with certainty it all could have ended very differently.
Looks like a skipper's mistake. Held too much sale.
well he sure won't get a good pric for it now!
Ok this is too much, they capsized, we get it. You're really milking this moment, far too much.
There isn't footage of the ineos team lifting the Christmas cup. Can we see that? How about a team that couldn't win just went 5 - 0? Can we hear more about that?
We get it, they capsized.
Not the cup they came for & probably because it is a bit of a poisoned chalice as they know it really was another one of New Zealand's cups unless you figure sh#ting on a boat from a lap behind deserving. I do admit it was funny tho. And they deserve a hats off for the cunning plan hiding their light until the races that counted. Let us pray (cast spells?) that TA can do the same turnaround & also fix those horrible screams & groans coming from below decks or at least give them a gag or piece of carbon to bite down on?
Spoiler alert: Nothing this team did worked. After repairs they lost 4 races in a row, each by a mile. Bad decisions, failed strategy, and electronic repairs that went south under race conditions were given the reasons for the crash and burn of this america's cup effort.
The boat isn't the problem. Not so sure about the crew...
What if, given that they knew they were getting increased pressure at very high speed, they had KEPT BOTH SETS OF FOILS DOWN???
More lift on the windward side? Wouldn't help.
She would be harder to tip the whole way and may have landed more upright. But she still would have tipped.
Lifting the windward foil gives a stronger righting moment through movement of mass as far wide as possible.
She'd tip, she probably would land badly. But she would self right fairly quickly probably.
Shame no one built a 'quick drop' mechanism into those cant arms
Ummm, who exactly DIDN’T like this!
That was probaly the best it could happen! The are coming strong back and yes they will join Ineos in the final.
So sad ...
Give to console with you
I see and hear helicopter interference.
ok time to go home
Why don't you just admit you made a huge mistake not releasing the backstage. The weather was no different for your opponent.!!!!!🤢🤢🤢🤢
In that instant it was..23 knots puffed up..
I think it has a lot more to do with the other teams inspecting the engineering on your boat than it was helping you float, lol. Watching an adult spewing this virtual signaling bs is sad.
Really looking forward to Hutchinson retiring & younger American skippers taking over...
🙄
Terry is a legend. Such a composed and humble man.
They will be massive shoes to fill when he does retire.
It's time..
At 38 secs in, the helicopter sweeps by. How far off was it ? probably not as close as it looks, never the less, the down wash fron these things is immense and far reaching.
150.000.000$ in the toilet ....
I don't like this! Terry should man up and talk about that runner that wasn't loosened. It was not just bad luck and a big puff!
Disappointed.
First :)
