Two boats collided just 17 minutes into the final, 10-day leg of the around-the-world Ocean Race on Thursday, sending first-place 11th Hour Racing back to port in The Hague, the Netherlands, with a gaping hole in its carbon fiber hull. The Newport, Rhode Island-based boat filed a protest against Guyot environnement – Team Europe, which punctured the port side of the 11th Hour hull with its bowsprit. No injuries were reported, the Ocean Race said.“We did our best to avoid it, and I don’t want to speculate on what was going on on their side of the fence,” 11th Hour skipper Charlie Enright said. “This race has a way of testing people in different ways — physically and mentally, and this is a test for our team. There is no team I would rather be on, that I would rather have with me. If anyone can figure this out, it is us.”Guyot skipper Benjamin Dutreux said he did not see the other boat, which appeared to have the right of way, until it was too late.“It was impossible then to avoid con...
