The Sail Grand Prix was underway today (18th Feb) when a "major weather event" brought the competition to a standstill.

SailGP said in a statement that the weather had caused "significant damage" to at least one of the boats in competition.

"As far as we know, no-one was seriously injured during the incident," SailGP said in a statement.

It's understood several people sustained minor injuries and several temporary structures on site were damaged by the storms.

Footage on social media shows the Canadian SailGP catamaran falling victim to ferocious winds in Barangaroo.

The poor crane operators' freckle is probably still locked shut.....
