The positive takeaway is that as fierce and the rivalries and the trash talk can get, none of the teams want to see their colleagues get hurt and they all worry about each other.
Just glad everyone on the team is OK. Come back strong team!! 🇳🇿 🇳🇿 🤙
I love that it's a team with many teams and they all come together when stuff like this happens nobody wants anyone to get hurt I agree with that and I like seeing all the boats out there so I hope that everyone comes together to get this corrected and they get them ready for racing tomorrow. Many move mountains so I'd love to see a miracle that gets them back out there. So happy Noone got hurt. That alone is a miracle. 💜
😂😂
Carbon fiber, compressive loads and stress cycles. Maybe a manufacturing defect but I think probably not. Same scenario as Titan submersible. Carbon fiber under compression probably needs to be thrown out after a certain number of cycles.
Solid logic. Carbon road cyclists around the world should shudder.
yeah non recyclable carbon fibre...really powered by nature NOT
i doubt, a fatigue failure would happen closer to the limit of the wing desing, (higher wind and during a bearaway) this looks more like a bad reassembly or some rubbing happening somewhere!
@@olivierleduc7305 Good point, however I would make two points. 1) these wings are depowered to balance with available stability, so I do not expect the loading varies that much. 2) Maybe a fitting failure? Broken shackle or something? I do not think the kiwis would make a mistake setting up the rig.
Old boat building saying;
If it breaks its too light if it doesn’t break it’s too heavy.
I'm still in shock when I see this. I'm so glad nobody was hurt. Don't worry Team New Zealand, you'll come back strong in Italy. ❤🇳🇿
I wonder if any of the rig components used were involved in the recent lightening strike
Some of the components from the wing used in Singapore were used in the new wing, however the components that broke in the second element of the wing were new components from wing 11.
Remember the wing is a three piece, with the mid section removable according to the wind conditions expected…..all conjecture at this stage, but a join section could prove to be the weak link in the overall integrity of the complete unit ….. the investigation will be interesting for sure, crucial to have the teams able to trust the wing strength.
Holy moly. Glad you guys are all ok
Go the kiwis..find the limit and push through it till breaking point is reached...churr team nz
😥😥🤧🤧 glad all are safe. Maybe an offering to Poseidon might be in order. Well done for the great catch up yesterday. If anyone can fix that boat, Kiwis can.
We armchair structural engineers recently learned much about carbon fiber compression load limitations and failures from all the excellent analysis of the Titan sub implosion.
Certainly the design teams are on top of it, but holy wow. Hope they quickly figure out exactly what happened.
Definitely hope this isn't indicative of a systemic failure of the design. Wouldn't want to see a whole series of these as the boats age up to the same point. Any number of possible causes. Just glad the top section didn't land vertically on the crew, that coulda been bloody.
Incredibly lucky that nobody was hurt. Thank goodness.
funny slixngsby was "still finishing the race"
Thank you for the upload
I have the impression that the deflection from the compression, not to mention the tension, led the sail to fail.
I emagined they ducked down in the hull, but they were all stood there at full mast, almost got chopped down. Thank god they are safe.
It looks like they would have had about a second or so before the wing was at their head level, and the boat was pitching. Seems like there was no time to react. Damn lucky it fell well away from them, could have be awful to have that sharp carbon fiber coming at them.
This is not the first time a NZ made mast has collapsed in a race!
Like in the F1 this probably is the main warning more protective frames like F1 halo.. need to be built around the sailors..seeing the images really incredible lucky no one was hit and hurt or even worse..
They have to switch sides all the time tho... a proper protective cage would be in the way a lot of the time and hinder mobility on the boat
i dont think halo in sail boat is good thing ,looks they get in and out switching sides all the time , and if sailboat capsize that make the situation even worse , moto racing or sailing sports always have risk ,and every accident is different ,sometimes just luck, so just learn from every accidents , and try improve the safety , rest of just luck ,make better helmet or oxygen tank that kind of gear..? i guess,?
im not a sailboat guy, dont know that kind of thing happened a lot or very rare , if it happen all the time , maybe make it safer to break ,control how to fail in certain way ?? like car steering rod.
I thought the same. Some kind of roll hoop area. The mast is very heavy, carbon fibre or not.
They have to move from one side to the other, so you can't enclose them like in a car.
But if the don't need to swich sides they could use a halo... Looking at the AC40's
Did the Material & Stress Analysts evaluate Low Cycle Fatigue of the Structural Carbon Fiber? It was a surprise to us who were designing metal turbine rotors in the 60’s.
🙏Glad everyone was okay!!
Team Nz💪
anymore info on the failure yet?14/09/2023..where will find out what happened exactly?..in Sail GP or in Team NZ?
Is this the same wing or parts of the same wing that took the lightning strike in Singapore ?
Some of the components from the wing used in Singapore were used in the new wing, however the components that broke in the second element of the wing were new components from wing 11.
That sounded like an elephant gun going off. Might have to make the sections a tad thicker in future, where it snapped looks incredibly thin for something under such stresses
The main question... are there spare parts like i recall Coutts saying a season or so ago that their would be. Otherwise, take Canada's wing, they have no show and caused a crash which damaged boats. Black flag them and get the kiwis back out
We would normally have a spare wing on site but unfortunately due to a number of unforeseen damage incidents earlier this year the replacement wing has only recently been finished in New Zealand.
The Canadian wing has been assigned to the Canadian team and we cannot allocate that to another team unless the Canadians caused the damage, which in this case they didn’t. Teams are racing for Season points and the Canadians should not be penalised for the unfortunate damage that occurred on the New Zealand boat.
@SailGP Well I hope you get better at keeping enough spares. It's pathetic that the kiwis will now stand to lose a big chunk of point because of a lack of spares. Had they crashed or capsized and caused the damage, that's racing. But such a major structural failure, maybe all the wings need to be fully inspected with ultrasound before any more racing occurs.
So Canada could get Japan’s whole boat and spot in the league for the past season and a half but we couldn’t take away their wing for one day?
@SailGP so in short, a failure beyond NZ's control in the product provided by the league should cost them a large amount of points, while they are currently in a very competitive position at the top of the table. But Canada, who performed a professional foul and caused damage to another boat are allowed to keep going to get just a couple of points.
Nooooo ...ooooo 😫
Good luck for 2mr
Team new zealand 🇳🇿💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪👋
Unfortunately, due to the extent of the damage to the New Zealand SailGP Team wingsail - the team won’t be able to participate in racing today. 😔
Oh, that was scary! Not much time to seek shelter for the sailors.
This video should open at 0:15 !! Do I have to do everything?!
Lucky no one got impaled by a razor sharp carbon fiber shard.
They're skippers, not drivers
pilots ?
Helmsman
This its a shame of one design oracle ship building!
It's desirable to keep the weight down, particularly high above the waterline, so the wing is built as lightly as possible -- sometimes too lightly! Do they have another wing handy?
Yes they have a spare but it is on the other side of the world.
@@almac9203 That sounds like a dedicated cargo flight and that will be really expensive. And if it's made the same as the one that broke they might well break the second one.
Its hard for me yo focus on the accident while im triggered about DRIVERS in the tittle 😑
It’s also objectively not true because that isn’t Blair’s job title.
That would've been scary
It was!
@@SailGP Hopefully Lisa is okay oh I mean the Kiwi crew 🇳🇿
Must be the same material as the titanic capsule...
These wings may need to be thrown away after a specified time... it seems to have had some type of stress fatigue .. the other teams wings must all be in question
Wow.
You could see it bow, then snap. Sure looked like a Carbon Fiber snap. Glad all missed the heavy falling debris. Lucky Bunch!.
Damn, composites fail fast.
🙏
just omG woww....
What happened is clear, it can be seen on the video. The reason why you don't build your sub from CF.
Here, on the surface, such a catastrophic failure results i nobody being harmed and just the entire mast broken apart.
While using CF as a main components on a submarine, using CF, lead to we know what.
The beast has broken. Brute force has broken this foiling boat!
there's really only one word to say F... every ones OK good news on that fount. But wow ...........
if only Titan sub guy had seen this video first.
Today I learned that Kristin Wiig changed her name and is a professional sailor now
Wow..carbon fibre failure, delamination, will we really know?
Huge stresses on these boats & they are mobing fast when something goes wrong.
Make a sub out of carbonfibre, NOPE!
Bruh 🇨🇦 🤦♀️
Why does anyone have an NZ or Au accent????
Is this really just an Australian and New Zealand race circuit held in other places but sponsored by other countries?
Because Kiwis and Aussies are the best sailors in the world
First time watching a pro sailing event? 75% of the pros are from either AUS, NZ, France, or UK.
disappointing sail GP doesn't keep enough parts to keep boats racing. In Formula 1 "GP" this would be unacceptable. This would be seen as unprofessional, and even amateur. Next week looking forward Americas cup.
We would normally have a spare wing on site but unfortunately due to a number of unforeseen damage incidents earlier this year the replacement wing has only recently been finished in New Zealand.
3:13 bro your mixing of the chemicals to make the sail was over cooked 😅 I'm a Maori Aotearoa+New Zealand 🇳🇿 to the bone and bro you over frying the bond agent made it brittle . Bro YOU are all safe that's a good lesson for your next pore . Tawhirimatia did you a favour he told you so sta
NZ taking Ls left right and center
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Trying to save weight using less carbon during the construction possibly.
