Simpson was trapped under the craft after it nosedived and broke up near Treasure Island. San Francisco police, the U.S. Coast Guard, and a panel appointed by America's Cup organizers are investigating the accident. The incident has sparked an international debate about whether the giant 72-foot catamarans planned for the America's Cup competition this summer are too dangerous to race. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>(NPR's Richard Gonzales reported on the issues surrounding the so-called AC72s on Friday's \"All Things Considered\":)\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cembed src=\"http://www.npr.org/v2/?i=184845132&m=184861993&t=audio\" height=\"386\" wmode=\"opaque\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"400\" base=\"http://www.npr.org\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\">\u003c/embed>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bertelli, who runs Italy's Prada fashion empire, said Friday in a press conference at the Luna Rossa base in Alameda that he wants organizers to agree to cancel races when winds exceed 25 knots—about 28 mph. Current rules would allow racing with winds of 33 knots—about 38 mph—during the final round in September. Bertelli also called for improved safety equipment for the AC72 crews, including body armor and stronger helmets for crewmen. \t\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We want to increase the safety of the sailors and look at any technology and tools to make us safer,\" Bertelli said through an interpreter Friday at the team's base in Alameda.\u003cbr>\n\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Flanked by his entire 50-person team, Bertelli also said his team is comfortable sailing its AC72 and intends to continue to do so. \"In order for the boat to be safe, sailors need to feel safe,\" he said. \"Our sailors have told me they trust the boat and can sail on it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>America's Cup organizers later issued \u003ca href=\"http://www.americascup.com/en/news/3/news/15554/review-committee-begins-work-meets-with-teams\" target=\"_blank\">a statement\u003c/a> welcoming Bertelli's \"vote of confidence,\" but suggesting that Luna Rossa hold off on sailing until at least next Thursday, when the committee reviewing the Artemis accident may make new safety recommendations. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>***\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Bertelli expressed support for tweaking safety rules and continuing in the 72-foot America's Cup catamarans—which are capable of running on hydrofoils at speeds topping 40 mph—one media voice in the race's host city suggested a more drastic change in the planned competition. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The San Francisco Chronicle's C.W. Nevius took up a suggestion made by some in the sailing community that the race would be safer with the scaled-down 45-foot catamarans used in last year's America's Cup World Series races in San Francisco and several other cities. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nevius acknowledged the race will happen one way or the other—too much time, effort, and money has gone into the thing to have it canceled. But he went on: \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The 72-foot catamarans are too much, too big, too powerful. Most of all, they are too dangerous.

In 1999, Martin Wizner of the Spanish Challenge died almost instantly when he was hit in the head by a broken piece of equipment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No deaths have been recorded during the actual racing since its inception in 1851.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Simpson and his partner Iain Percy won an Olympic gold medal for England in 2008 in the so-called Star class of sailing. The duo was expected to repeat in London in 2012 but was upset by a Swedish team and settled for silver.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Percy is Artemis’ director and the boat’s tactician. Artemis announced on Feb. 23 that Simpson was joining the team to “provide weather and tactics support” to the crew.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A month later, Simpson tweeted: “Moving the family to San Fran for 6 months is pretty hectic!!! The cup should be fun though!!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Artemis has had its share of upheaval in the buildup to the 34th America’s Cup. Late last year, skipper Terry Huthinson of Annapolis, Md., was released. He was replaced by Nathan Outteridge of Australia, who won a gold medal at the London Olympics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Artemis has had technical problems, as well. Last fall, Artemis said the front beam of its AC72 catamaran was damaged during structural tests, delaying the boat’s christening. A year ago, Artemis’ AC72 wing sail sustained serious damage while it was being tested on a modified trimaran in Valencia, Spain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This also wasn’t the first America’s Cup boat to capsize on the hard-blowing San Francisco Bay. Oracle’s $10 million boat capsized in 25 knot winds in October, and strong tides swept it 4 miles past the Golden Gate Bridge. No one was injured, but the rough waters destroyed the 131-foot wing sail and the boat was sidelined until a new sail shipped from New Zealand was installed in February.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The boats participating in the latest America’s Cup more resemble a space craft than the traditional sloop-shaped yachts that historically competed for the trophy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Financed by billionaire Larry Ellison, Oracle Team USA won the 2010 cup and made several changes to the races this year in an attempt to make the staid competition more fan- and TV-friendly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While much faster and more exciting than the sloops, the catamarans have proved hard to handle. The wing sail looks and acts like an airplane wing, improving the yacht’s speed and maneuverability. The seven-ton boat’s hulls are lifted out of the water and it skims along the waves on “foils,” reducing the drag on the boat and increasing speed dramatically.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because the boats are cutting-edge, sailors wear crash helmets and life vests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Coast Guard Lt. Jeannie Crump said the agency did not know the extent of the damage to the boat. She said a commercial salvage boat was at the scene and would tow the vessel to Clipper Cove, between Yerba Buena Island and Treasure Island.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Crump added Coast Guard officials weren’t sure what caused the boat to capsize. She said the Swedish team has two boats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The America’s Cup race is scheduled to run from July through September, and the teams are training in the bay.\u003c/p>\n\n",

He was pronounced dead a short time later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is the second time a sailor has died during training for the America’s Cup. In 1999, Martin Wizner of the Spanish Challenge died almost instantly when he was hit in the head by a broken piece of equipment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No deaths have been recorded during the actual racing since its inception in 1851.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Simpson and his partner Iain Percy won an Olympic gold medal for England in 2008 in the so-called Star class of sailing. The duo was expected to repeat in London in 2012 but was upset by a Swedish team and settled for silver.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Percy is Artemis’ director and the boat’s tactician. Artemis announced on Feb. 23 that Simpson was joining the team to “provide weather and tactics support” to the crew.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A month later, Simpson tweeted: “Moving the family to San Fran for 6 months is pretty hectic!!! The cup should be fun though!!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Artemis has had its share of upheaval in the buildup to the 34th America’s Cup. Late last year, skipper Terry Huthinson of Annapolis, Md., was released. He was replaced by Nathan Outteridge of Australia, who won a gold medal at the London Olympics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Artemis has had technical problems, as well. Last fall, Artemis said the front beam of its AC72 catamaran was damaged during structural tests, delaying the boat’s christening. A year ago, Artemis’ AC72 wing sail sustained serious damage while it was being tested on a modified trimaran in Valencia, Spain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This also wasn’t the first America’s Cup boat to capsize on the hard-blowing San Francisco Bay. Oracle’s $10 million boat capsized in 25 knot winds in October, and strong tides swept it 4 miles past the Golden Gate Bridge. No one was injured, but the rough waters destroyed the 131-foot wing sail and the boat was sidelined until a new sail shipped from New Zealand was installed in February.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The boats participating in the latest America’s Cup more resemble a space craft than the traditional sloop-shaped yachts that historically competed for the trophy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Financed by billionaire Larry Ellison, Oracle Team USA won the 2010 cup and made several changes to the races this year in an attempt to make the staid competition more fan- and TV-friendly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While much faster and more exciting than the sloops, the catamarans have proved hard to handle. The wing sail looks and acts like an airplane wing, improving the yacht’s speed and maneuverability. The seven-ton boat’s hulls are lifted out of the water and it skims along the waves on “foils,” reducing the drag on the boat and increasing speed dramatically.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because the boats are cutting-edge, sailors wear crash helmets and life vests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Coast Guard Lt. Jeannie Crump said the agency did not know the extent of the damage to the boat. She said a commercial salvage boat was at the scene and would tow the vessel to Clipper Cove, between Yerba Buena Island and Treasure Island.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Crump added Coast Guard officials weren’t sure what caused the boat to capsize. She said the Swedish team has two boats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The America’s Cup race is scheduled to run from July through September, and the teams are training in the bay.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
