It was around 2h30 (local time) on Friday morning that Hugo Boss was struck by a fishing boat, leading to the monohull dismasting and causing some major damage to the starboard side. The boat was towed to the commercial harbour in Les Sables d’Olonne, where she is due to be inspected later today. A press conference will take place this afternoon with Alex Thomson, who will explain what exactly happened and give us more information about the intentions of the Hugo Boss team.
