Intro:

Team Aberdeen Singapore ploughed into the Groupama sailing team in the penultimate day of the Extreme Sailing Series in Singapore on Saturday.

Script:

The Singapore Symphony Orchestra play on land but there was clashes at sea in the penultimate day of sailing in the Southeast Asian state on Saturday.

In winds that were varying from 5 to 23 knots across the racecourse, Team Aberdeen Singapore caught one of the biggest gusts of the day as they came into the finish line and ploughed into the back of France's Groupama sailing team.

The safety team were immediately on site to provide assistance, and all the crews quickly received help.

Groupama's Tanguy Cariou suffered minor facial injuries, and was taken ashore immediately for treatment.

The rest of the crew onboard both Groupama and Team Aberdeen Singapore are uninjured, and the technical team craned out the boats in Singapore's F1 pitlane for full damage assessment.

Alinghi will lead the fleet going into the final day. A full starting grid of 12 Extreme 40s will line-up for the final day of racing tomorrow.
