Very similar to what happened to Team DVC in Key West last year. We added a full rotation while in the air. I can tell you it's violent from inside. Glad the crew is OK.

I'm still wondering what caused them to spin. They were setting up for a left hand turn and spun hard to the right. Did they loose the starboard motor or drive? The water was not rough.

We had our tie bar connection break. One motor took a 45 degree turn at WOT. This one looks crazy like that. SQ
