With 25 knots of wind and boatspeeds of 30km per hour, today was a white-knuckle ride for the Extreme 40 fleet in fully testing conditions. In the fifth race, Red Bull Extreme Sailing Team got caught out and over they went - the first full capsize of the Asian series! Download the video of Red Bull capsizing below (3.3MB).

Was that the skipper that hit the leeward hull? Top to bottom... ouch. That was the nastiest capsizing I have seen yet.
