A nearly $8 million, 72-foot catamaran used by the Oracle Team USA, the defending America's Cup champion, capsized during practice near the Golden Gate Bridge Tuesday and was severely damaged. There were no injuries but the $2 million wing of the new ship was was "damaged beyond recognition," team officials said.


The AC 72 boat, a massive vessel with a 13,000-pound hull and a 131-foot mast that launched this year, was towed back to the team's base at Pier 80, according to The New York Times. There were 14 people on the boat when it capsized about four miles offshore, all of whom were unhurt.
