That's the one at Sopers hole on Tortola! Presumably a combination of storm surge and wind got it up there?!

That's how I saw it too as Team Japan hooked into Team BAR his boat came off it's foils and virtually parked in front of the British boat, BAR had no chance of avoiding the collision. If that was F1 (which is the equivalent of on water) Barker would have been penalized for causing a collision...
