'Climbing the mast, onboard PUMA Ocean Racing, on leg 7 from Boston to Galway' Rick Deppe/PUMA Ocean Racing/Volvo Ocean Race &copy

The first pictures have come in of the rudder damage sustained by Puma Racing earlier today.

The images show the rudder has been removed completely from yacht, as yet there is no explanation of the damage except in one shot the blade is clearly not attached to the stock.

Another shot shows the emergency rudder about to be fitted.

We will update with further news as it comes to hand.
