The SuperFoiler facebook page says that a safety system snapped. "Whilst we have a safety first approach - its clear we gotta make it stronger and gotta be stronger as we have some valuable lessons along the way. We're sharing it all with you as we go."
While the testing and learning experiences continue on Sydney Harbour, the rest of the fleet in the final stage of fit-out. Rudders and daggerboards were being completed in West Auckland at Hall Spars and were due to be shipped in early December.
