Update at 3:02am:

Emirates Team New Zealand, who were also out on the water today, and Alinghi’s support vessel are alongside Alinghi.

Original Report:

Team Alinghi Red Bull Racing was out for practice today (local time Sunday 30 September), it seems the strong winds, which delayed the Louis Vuitton Cup Finals racing on the course, caused Alinghi to tank – they have capcized.
