Seems it was Hollywood Boulevard and all crew are safe. May have hit a sunfish.

He might have a penchant for hitting things. From the Rolex S2H website.
"Ray 'Hollywood' Roberts' Hollywood Boulevard was 36th overall in the 2016 RSHYR and fourth overall in the 2017 Brisbane Gladstone race. In the 2015 Hobart, sustained hull damage and retired. As OneSails Racing, finished 49thoverall in the 2014 Hobart after a sunfish claimed the port rudder."
