Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup images from photographer Ingrid Abery.

Coming into the start at the Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup this afternoon the thirty metre Illusion misjudged the distance and ploughed right into Kora. The crew were thrown across the deck with a few damaged ribs counted, one person in the water and plenty of damage to both boats.
