Team Vestas Hitting Reef

Here’s the accident report -

“Contributing factors were:
 deficient use of electronic charts and other navigational data and a failure to identify
the potential danger, and
 deficient cartography in presenting the navigational dangers on small and medium
scale (or zoomed out) views on the electronic chart system in use.”

Note : In talking to the race organization, paper charts were required onboard, but were not in use.
