Oracle Racing is an American sailboat racing syndicate originally formed to compete for the 2003 America's Cup.
There was an exhibition of Oracle Racing in San Francisco on Jun 13, 2011.
Two futuristic and luxurious catamarans were on exhibition to promote the 34th Annual America's Cup in a very windy San Francisco Bay and one of them capsized.
One crewman suffered minor rib injuries and was taken to the hospital as a precautionary measure, according to Oracle Racing.
In 2013, the race for the America's Cup will reach its zenith in San Francisco, the host city of the 34th America's Cup.
