Tom Slingsby's Australia SailGP Team's hopes came crashing down on day two at the Oracle San Francisco Sail Grand Prix, as a catastrophic wing failure forced them out of contention, marking a devastating end for the Aussies in San Francisco. Thankfully all the sailors were accounted for and no injuries were reported.

With salvage under way, the SailGP Technical Team will now begin an in-depth analysis to determine what caused the incident.
