Tauranga sailor Peter Burling and fellow 49er crew Blair Tuke were knocked out of the 2010 BMW Auckland Regatta on Saturday when the multi hull they were crew on flipped.
Frantic Drift, skippered by Olympic sailor Dan Salter with Nathan Handley and up-and-coming Olympic class sailors Blair Tuke and Peter Burling's trimaran flipped near the end of the opening race.

'We were just coming in to the finish of the opening race,” says Dan.
'It was all on. We were doing 24 knots when we cartwheeled the boat.
'Nathan Handley and I both cleared the forestay as we flew through the air. The yacht ended up totally upside down. Luckily nobody was injured.
'With the help of a couple of umpire boats, we got the boat upright and were just getting sailing again when a lashing attaching the main shroud on the starboard side of the mast broke, bringing the mast down. So we ended up having to be towed back to Westhaven.”
Frantic Drift will have a new look when she next goes racing, says Dan.
'We are about to do a major modification of Frantic Drift, with new floats and foils, which will be similar to the shapes on the BMW ORACLE Racing trimaran in the America's Cup,” says Dan.
Sixty yachts in nine divisions competed in the regatta, which finished on Sunday.
The BMW Auckland Regatta is followed by the Auckland Festival of Sailing which
comprises a series of on and off the water events including the Omega Auckland Match Racing Regatta, the Louis Vuitton Trophy Auckland, the BMW Sailing Cup World Final and the Auckland International Boat Show.
