AC 72 Team USA digs her bows at the first mark of an elimination race in the America's Cup finals at San Francisco Bay. In what could have been a disastrous mistake, both for the comeback attempt and for the sailors onboard, the boat nearly pitch-poled (capsize end-over-end) and was brought almost to a stop. The boat and crew recovered and eventually won the race and the America's Cup.
