Oracle Team USA have released a series of images taken just before during and after the capsize of the team's AC45S in Bermuda earlier this week.

The development boat was sailing in 20kts winds and fell over sideways rather then the usual nosedive of the AC72's.

The AC45S was largely undamaged with some electronic damage in the port hull being the principal issue.

In the video helmsman Tom Slingsby and grinder Cooper Dressler talk through the aftermath of the team's capsize during training in Bermuda in March.
