Crew members hang from the mesh netting after the Oracle Team USA AC72 boat capsized on San Francisco Bay on Oct. 16. The America's Cup champion syndicate is assessing the damage to its 72-foot catamaran, after it capsized and was swept by a strong current more than four miles past the Golden Gate Bridge before rescue boats could control it.
