From the following entry on the excellent Sail Racing Magazine

The most heart stopping moment of the 34th America's Cup action so far was the huge bear way crash which saw the Emirates Team New Zealand AC72 nosedive at the windward mark race two. (In case you have been living up a mountain with no internet or left the planet temporarily in the last few days the video clip is at the end of this article).

So what exactly went wrong on the Kiwi boat to trigger such a spectacular nose dive that it thew the majority of the crew into a tangled heap and flicked two of them unceremoniously into San Francisco Bay.

To find out from one who would know for sure, we got Emirates Team New Zealand wing trimmer Glenn Ashby to talk us through it.

First we asked Glenn to explain what he is doing to the massive wing sail when the boat goes around the windward mark.

America's Cup update, Jonathon MacBeth on his role as grinder for Team Oracle

As AC72 catamarans do not allow stored power for operation of onboard systems the grinders onboard are the engine room and responsible for generating the hydraulic and mechanical power working in conjunction with the wing trimmers to get the maximum out of the boat.  In this video from Team Oracle Jonathon Macbeth discusses his role as grinder.

America's Cup update, Glenn Ashby takes a turn at helming Emirates Team New Zealand AC72 catamaran while Dean Barker has a break

From the following article submitted to Sail-World by Bob Fisher:

http://www.sail-world.com/Australia/Louis-Vuitton-Cup:-Cheap-point-for-new-helmsman/112531

For the first time in the Louis Vuitton Cup races for six years, Dean Barker was absent from the wheel of Emirates Team New Zealand, and his place as helmsman was taken by Glenn Ashby, normally the wing trimmer.

Ashby’s credentials for the job are more than sufficient, having won 14 world championships in three multihull classes and ten Australian A-class catamaran championships.
