Horrific crash with GC32 catalytic converter
Spectacular video of the serious accident on the GC32 Tour - catamaran from Team Malizia under helmsman Pierre Casiraghi runs over Rib
It could have ended badly, but fortunately nobody was injured in the crash. The video shows the seconds of the accident in which the GC32 cat from Team Malizia with German professional Boris Herrmann on board runs over a press boat in foil mode. The accident occurred on Friday during the GC32 series race on Lake Garda, and YACHT has now received this eyewitness video documenting the incident.
Helmsman Pierre Casiraghi said in a press release: "An accident like this simply cannot happen. The GC32s are very fast boats, so it is particularly important that both accredited and spectator boats comply with the safety rules."
The cat "Malizia" rolled over after the crash and was so badly damaged that it was unable to rejoin the race.
