Sail-World captured the incident at the start of Race 6 where Land Rover BAR (Ben Ainslie) mounted Softbank Team Japan - damaging the steering wheel and other deck damage to the Dean Barker skippered Challenger.

The British boat was holed but continued to sail.

The carbon shards can be seen hanging out of Land Rover Bar in a later shot during the final Race.
