Script:
Bermuda is famous for being the tip of a triangle that's been blamed for numerous mysterious accidents over the years and there was another one here in America's Cup World Series on Sunday.
This is the terrifying moment Artemis Racing collided with an umpires boat....
This happened before the start of race two on the final day of the regatta. The closing speed would have been in excess of 25 knots.
There was substantial damage but after some quick repairs with less than two minutes to spare, the team was lining up to go again.
Incredibly, they blasted of the starting line with more speed than anyone else and went on to win the race.
In the third and final race, Artemis Racing needed to make a pass on the last leg to grab a fourth place finish and secure the points needed to win the regatta, which they did.
An outstanding achievement on an incredible day of America's Cup racing.
