As BMW ORACLE Racing set its spinnaker, the sail ripped. As the crew struggled to get it down and another one set, Alinghi failed to keep sufficiently clear and received a penalty. At almost the same time, Alinghi had problems with its spinnaker set. Their chute also tore and the crew had difficulty getting it down.

paracaidas de freno
I know for a fact "chute" is short for parachute, and that parachute is paracaidas. I am not sure, however, how they call those in racing cars.. paracaidas de freno me parece un buen nombre, pero no se si es asi como se les llama

baluma
It would be good that you specify that your translation is about YATCHING, because people are looking into car racing stuff. Check the glossary on the 2nd url provided here. I've cross-checked the term (1st URL).
