Moment British sailor falls head-first overboard during Australia SailGP race
Footage captures the moment a Team GB crew member was swept off his catamaran and thrown into the water while competing in the Australia Sail Grand Prix.
Matt Gotrel can be seen going head-first overboard, falling through the vessel while still tethered to it.
He was frantically tossed around the water for a few seconds, before being pulled back onto the F50 catamaran.
The incident happened as Team GB took part in the international sailing competition, SailGP, in Sydney.
A second day of racing, on Sunday, was cancelled due to a “major weather event”.
