United States challenger American Magic is assessing the extent of damage to its race yacht Patriot, which capsized and came close to sinking during racing Sunday in the America’s Cup challengers series. Skipper Terry Hutchinson said American Magic is confident of making repairs and being able to continue in the Prada Cup series, which resumes on Friday. Rival teams raced to the assistance of the American team, along with police and fire officers. Hutchinson said he is confident American Magic will be able to continue in the regatta in which it represents the New York Yacht Club. It’s the America’s Cup; we have to be prepared to fight for it and we will."
