The wingsail on BOR90, BMW Oracle Racing's challenger for the America's Cup, is not straight forward to raise and lower, and requires a special technique and equipment, while she is on her mooring. In this sequence shot by Gilles Martin-Raget, we show the lowering sequence of the almost 200ft tall wing, without the use of a crane.
