SiFi “I refuse to admit this is over” Awesome attitude. It’s sport, close racing, these things happen. Best wishes and fingers crossed that the 11th hour team can get you all back in the race.
You can call it what you like; we have seen it all before because mistakes happen. It is a "Sport" and a Sportsperson-like attitude is above ALL the First and Last in it. Charlie Enright is a Sportsman and there is NO GREATER HONOUR. Anyone can win by luck or by centimeters but it takes a special person to accept mishaps and still shake hands from an honest apology. GO 11TH HOUR You got this!!!
Charlie and crew, so very thankful you all are safe! Of all sailing events, Charlie, I am sure you never want to stare another boat heading into you full steam!
❤❤❤❤❤❤'s are with you!
After viewing this clip, from the moment of assessment to calling for water the time needed to escape had diminished very rapidly and then it all becomes slow motion.
The closest boat is the closest danger and both need to be watching out and clearly Guyot needed to go down and 11th Hour go up to avoid a collision and then sort out the protest later - in hindsight we’re all great judges but what we miss is the mental pressure that is present during this in-port part of the race and it’s so easy to be diverted onto something else and miss the most obvious in front of you.
Hopefully 11th Hour can be repaired very rapidly, the delay will be waiting for the resins to dry as there’s enough shore crew available to make the repairs and they can rejoin the race and collect points from passing over the finish line.
🙏🙏👏👏🤩🤩😍😍⛵️⛵️
Watched this Live - still raises the hair on my neck and makes my stomach drop. So glad no one was hurt. Pray the shore team can put her back together and this salty crew can get back on the water. The professionalism of both teams is off the charts. Saw Charlie and Ben’s emotional talk to one another. I’d shake both of your hands as being gentlemen.
Yeah Charlie wasn't leaving the helm. But imagine if the bowsprit was two feet to the right. Chilling
It's absurd calling BOTH teams professional. What is wrong with you?
After following the race and being witness to your amazing work and struggle I can't even imagine how you feel. I shared a tear looking at the reaction of all the parties involved. Nothing can take the proud that your efforts and success gifted to us!!!
YES Sifi, the game is definitely NOT over!! Dig deep team, make this your moment to shine above this situation thrust upon / into you....
True leadership from Charlie and sportsmanship from the whole team. Hats off to the crew and get back to the race soon. ❤❤❤
So very thankful that no one was seriously hurt!!!
Absolutely gutted for you all. Glad you're all ok that was a nasty one. Praying for a good redress outcome.
Thanks for the reporting .. all the very best .... stay strong - we hope they come up with a fair solution which gives you the chance to still win the race on your own!!!
That was so close to Charlie, glad everybody is safe.
I wish the whole team all the best! On which your boat will soon be able to sail regattas again‼️Greetings from a Malizian🙂
Charlie, and team - the kind of ..... "luck" you guys have had (over these past, what - 3 ocean races?) is phenomenal. Obviously....I know this has got to hurt like crazy.....(considering how close you were. finally). And while a win would certainly have been inspiring and reason to celebrate....so is your teams continued resilience, participation, and perseverence ..... through what is starting to look some sort of fate. While winning is a challenging feat to accomplish, it's an easy burden to bear. But you guys do shine....through all the difficulties and disappointments that seem to be repeatedly inflicting themselves upon y'all. Big ups! Big cheers. And continued 🙏⛅* (and, ABSOLUTELY, all the same to Team Guyot too. Both teams - all teams. Not enough can be said yet about all this....*)
Goodness, thank god nobody got hurt, that was really close to where Charlie was! I hope 11th hour succeeds in glueing the boat back together and get to Genova with some welldeserved glory!
Really sorry for you. And for the whole race. Hope that you can somehow manage to repair your boat that you're at least able to finish the last leg and therefore the race. I hope that I can see your phantastic team when we're in Genua. Btw ... Charlie is a real sportsman. He reacted perfectly when Benjamin Dutreux was excusing with tears in his eyes. Very sad for the whole race, but fortunately nobody was hurt, which is most important. Wish you the very best! Best greetings from 🇦🇹
Find a sheet of alum / or stainless, rivit / screw / glue that up, fill with expanding foam and go go go....
I'm gutted for you guys. That's a lot of damage, but I sincerely hope the boat can be fixed, and reentered to complete Leg 7. Can you imagine? That's the stuff of legend.
Watched all legs since the start. Great racing and loads of determination. Really feeling so bad for you. I am sure nobody wanted this accident but the fall out seems to be catastrophic for you. Nevertheless your post race interviews from Mark/Charlie showed the world what a great team you guys are with exceptional sportsmanship even in those devastating moments. Keep your heads up and I hope we can all follow the team on the next ocean race
Imagine just needing to finish the around the world race and the one team that is in last place and had to leave 2 stages hulls you. What was Guyot thinking even trying to race the contenders close?
This is unbelievable, I think the race should stop and wait for Charlie. It's the last leg
What an unbelievable accident I still can't believe. 🤦🏼 Please stay strong and come back. 🤙🏻
heartbreaking. Charlie and the crew have worked so hard to win this race
Got to see this boat in person a month or so before the race. Hurts to see.
While I watch this video, I am filled with tears yet I try to imagine just how badly Charlie & TEAM 11th Hour must feel. Watching Jack back away and Frankie thrown toward SiFi brings home how dangerous this crash was. Me: I suspend the race leg until repairs are made: This Ocean Race MUST NOT be decided because of a collision.
agree.
Where we race guilty vessel would be disqualified
@@hughmaxwell8143 oh no, the last place boat is more last....
You can see the bow sprit knock the tiller out of Charlie’s hand
yeah...... this is too bad. Right there in port, at the relative start....race leg suspension would surely have been manageable (except for all momentum in scheduling. but still - I'd tend to agree that would have been a good call). Hindsight
This very expensive crunching noise. Hope u can fix
mine and I am sure all of our hearts ache for 11th Hour.
Have ti ask what is the point of the safety boats there was one there and this collision still happened. Hope they get back on the water and get to sail over the finish line
Difficult to avoid that collision as the right of way boat. 3-4 seconds to realise the other boat would not respond to the hail and try to get out of the way.
The guy on deck didn't once tell his crew to tack the boat
@@TheSusieTom This was made more difficult with most of the crew on both boats below and unsighted.
What a bummer. I feel sorry for you guys. At least you are all safe. Patch that hole and get to the finish to pickup your well deserved winners trophy.
Awful to see, I hope with all the shore teams still in The Hague a miracle can be pulled together to get you back on the water ASAP
💔 Seeing the emotion catch SiFi at the end of the interview caught me too! Hopefully nothing structural was damaged and a patch (admittedly a good, watertight one) can be applied to keep Malama in the race. 🤞❤🩹
Where was guyot skipper?????
I hope everyone is okay 😢😢😢
Absolutely inexcusable
Charlie is the fucking beezzzz! Pushing Gyuot away by hand!!!!!!!!!!, praying for you all, race has been completely stolen from you all!!!!❤️
so sad ...
We are gutted for you all. Don’t quit.
Glad everyone is okay but dang, no one needs that!!!
Last place team takes out prospective winning team through egregious lack of situational awareness. Inexcusable. At this supposedly elite level of premier yachtsmanship ...absolutely inexcusable.
What is your opinion on 11th Hour Racing with Charlie Enright taking out a Chinese Fishing Vessel in 2018? A Chinese fisherman died in that incident.
@@n1c3s43 That tragic VOR 2018 accident, apart from happening on water between two boats, is incomparable with last week’s bright clear daytime in-port race collision between two race competitors. The 2018 collision occurred in the middle of the night (0120 local) between the *Vestas 11th Hour Racing boat and a local fishing boat in notoriously busy Hong Kong waters, and amidst what Franck Cammas (then sailing with Dongfeng) referred to as “countless” fishing vessels - many with no running lights. *Charlie Enright was not onboard at the time of the 2018 fatal collision.
@C C why would they have a race in the dark, in a notoriously busy place with countless fishing boats that have no running lights? Seems like an accident was always going to happen? I admit I have no idea how these things work, but you'd expect that racing would be halted till daylight or simple avoid that area all together?
@@C_C_SEA The accident now happened in a high pressure in-shore situation in boats with known poor visibility, which are not designed for this kind of racing with such a small crew with no lookout on deck. A similar incident earlier in the race between Malizia and Holcim(or Biotherm, I sadly forgot) was only avoided because Holcim/Biotherm gave up their right of way.
Furthermore 11th hour racing hit a spectator boat that was on anker in the start to leg 2 in the Ocean Race Europe 2021. They managed to avoid it just enough to not cause a disaster.

starts at 24:44
These incidents happen in racing. They should be avoided, but they happen.
@@n1c3s43 I leave you to your own machinations. Seems to me that you prefer deference to otherisms, strawman arguments, and confrontation rather than acknowledgment of consensus reality
I am so sorry for you guys. Get 'er done. Get back out. Win.
I hope that 11th Hour can get patched up sufficiently to limp into Genoa but is there a time limit?
If so, the race director should wave it given that their boat was not at fault.
Guyot must be penalised - not having a crew member in the bow during close inshore racing is extremely negligent;
either DQ from this leg or allowed to finish but BEHIND 11th Hour.
If I had been in Charlie's position during this crash, I'd need Anje-Marijcke van Boxtel's help now. This was scary! So glad, nobody got injured.
So sorry, you all have worked way to hard for it to end like this.
Retired but still a place on the podium!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Please please please get back in the race. You deserve it.
Inexcusable 😢
If this is a round the world race team Europe should not be there , it missed out a leg ?
Désolée pour vous...
OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WTF NOOOOOOOOOO
I see you are now retired😢
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I will be following your team in the future for more fun!
Avoiding the collision and let the committee deal with infraction, is always the better course.
I feel sorry for you guys. - so sorry.
Turns out that Guyot means “permanently banned” in some other language
Wow! Dramatic. Feel for you guys....
I’m sure you will get redress. Anything other that first in the regatta and second in this race is unacceptable.
15 seconds.
I HOPE YOU CAN COME BACK FROM THIS !!!!!
Well everyone the optics are not good. Let’s see the boat with the fewest points takes out- spears the the dominant boat with the most points completely insuring dominate (foreign) vessel doesn’t finish on top. Interesting how Guyot didn’t even attempt to jibe. Blew right thru the turn heading out to see. Interesting how the coverages aren’t showing this from over head. I bet money changed hands. This used to happen in cad racing all the time. Guyot had what 2 point?
And let’s all remember Lance Armstrong if any doesn’t think foul play doesn’t occur.
TRISTE.
Banana lottery just got launched to seven hundred krates of bannanas, a hundred a ducky. Trogladyte's are Sirius'ly enjoying the Show'er's and the bravery's idle ❤

3 feet further aft and someone would have been hurt really bad or killed!
Would have been if Charlie had not taken evasive steering
Reminds me of runway disasters I've investigated: ~ )_@m ~
What the f##k was gyout doing? Clearly not paying attention to what was going on!!! They won one inport race then take out the leaders of the overall race, it’s racing but wtf guys, oh and btw for those that are saying that 11th racing was tacking needs glasses!!!!cleary they were on starboard 🙏🏽
These are supposed to be elite sailors. Inexcusable. Fortunately nobody is hurt. Disqualify GUYOT
Trogladyte's sink dare boat's on'na consistant basis, no, you dew Knott have any permission to encourage them any more than you swinging have. Ash'ent Mariner 💧

Horror movie. Stop the Race.
so ein Drama
Benjamin Dutreux must be banned from sailing in the IMOCA fleet now for life! No skipper does not have a man on the bow knowing a raceboat is in front about to tack onto Starboard. There is no excuse but an outright ban for life! Harsh yes but at this level this is just off the charts NON excusable! People could have DIED HERE! This comment from a lifetime sailor, you have a bowman in this situation!!!!!
I get where you are coming from but I must disagree. These captains all play fast and tight. Benjamin and Charlie both shook hands and hugged with great sportsmanship and shared words of mutual condolences. We cant cancel captains for bad luck in moments like this. It would be like not allowing a top race car driver back on the track after surviving a crash in a formula one race.
Sorry but I agree with westpacific
No 65 foot boat racing with 4 crew can afford a body to just stand on the bow
Go outside and touch grass. Cannot believe a grown man is writing like this, it’s embarrassing.
Crew below didn't know what on earth was going, only a man screaming not communicating
Ash'ent Mariner wants to sea a perfect reconstruction had the helm Knott been changed: ~ )_@m ~
Ash is betting it was thin slice theory, blindfolded oar Knott. AI assisted
Collision Avoidance is probably your future charlie ❤

Can someone please tell me if the one screaming like a schoolgirl was actually a real school girl?
Watched a different video covering this, and this hit looked 100% intentional. Guessing the Guyot team, which was dead last, was paid off to take the 11th Hour team out.
So you think Guyot was willing to be up for manslaughter had it been timed a few second’s different? Calm down fella and put your tinfoil hat back on.
To imply men and women of this calibre would lower themselves to this is ridiculous
This isnt F1, it's sailing, and honor still means something. I'm American, and pulling for 11th hour, despite the fact that Kevin E is my favorite skipper. It was an incredidbly unfortunate mistake, but to imply that it was intentional is nonsense.
Absurd. Imagine what would have had to happen for that to be true. They didn’t adjust course at all, so if it had been intentional they would have had it lined up before 11th hour tacked. That would have meant having from half a mile away picked the exact timing to hit an 18 meter target traveling across their bow at somewhere around 6 to 10 meters per second, for a collision window of 2-3 seconds. Without knowing the exact moment 11th hour would tack, with inexact/unpredictable boat speed on both vessels.
The alternative explanation is that four sailors with assigned roles were working their asses off in stressful conditions at high boat speeds, and in the moment all failed to check the blind spot behind the sails. Yes, they effed up, responsibility for the crash is clear cut and Guyot where the first to accept it. No, they did not do a hit.
If there’s any valid criticism in any of this, it’s for the race organizers putting a round-the-cans element into an event that’s arguably not suited for it. Then again, the Vendée Globe 2020 were halfway around the planet yet somehow had five boats within sight of each other. Accidents happen. Let’s just be happy no persons got seriously injured.
You’ve got to wonder if people are betting on this race I’m sensing this was intentional
From the Boat it does look Quite different, everyone gets a drug test 😀

Unreal how a team can not be looking out for a boat that is about to tack right in front of them. The worst seamanship one can imagine and I tell you it is lucky your skipper did not get major hurt if that had been a few seconds off where they hit!
That is absolute bullshit. 11th hour clearly had ROW. For an alleged “professional” skipper to cause that crash is not only inexcusable, he should be banned from racing for years. They stole a likely victory from 11th hour.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. And again. The IMOCA boats were the wrong choice for this race. Multiple demastings in what we call moderate conditions on the Great Lakes. Hull delaminations. Broken rudders. The list is endless.
And this sailing from inside a cocoon is not sailing. It’s just asking for trouble. With skipper, navigator and crew on deck, this collision would never have occurred. That’s not to excuse the disaster for which Detreux is responsible. The dead last boat in the race that had major issues every leg. And in the end they screwed or up for everyone.
In the end, this can only be blamed on the skipper and crew of GUyot. But the race organizers need to take a long hard look in the mirror. Because the real culprits will be starring them right back in the face.
Take a boring ocean race and make it exciting again...yay!
The perfect ending to a stupid ocean race.
Talk about screaming like a scared little girl....🤣🤣🤣
Sometimes I really hate this overdone political correctness which doesn't even allow a skipper to curse his bad luck without being censored! Unf***ingbelievable!
Long Bleeps
ohh man... Mālama protected Charlie for worse. good boat endeed. Go 11 H.R.Team
Charlie came so very close to being a kebab. Glad they are all ok. This is heartbreaking ❤️🩹 seems like a Tanya Harding moment however unintentional
