Am-Cam video of Luna Rossa hitting a fish/seal or underwater object while foiling fast during Round Robin 4, Race 2 of the Louis Vuitton Cup in San Francisco.

The Italian challenger broke a rudder in the incident and sailed the rest of the course slowly to finish and get the point for the day. John Navas was videoing Bayside and provided this clip of the incident.
