Latest in GPS gear, sounders and a dedicated navigator only to find themselves high and dry

Two others only saw it on
Two others only saw it on the plotter at the last minute.
in another video, they scroll through the zoom on the plotter and when zoomed out, there is nothing there.
this part of the race course had only opened up (relaxed pirate exclusion zone) due to the fleet having to go around a tropical depression. I can only guess that due to them be a chasing boat, they were spending too much time on routing than where they were going.
Sad way to see a 4 month old boat, though credit to Farr design and the builders.
