I have a jetski and a small dinghy sail boat (RS Q'Ba), and its great and all to bomb around on the jetski, but sailing is always more fun for some reason.
i think that he's using too much tiller but he is in very hard conditions, try mving forward when you bring it up and bring it up gentler when you do it else the boom will come across onto you, i think you need to use less main sheet cos your creasing the sail and touch off the outhall and kicker to open the leech for power through the waves and as you sed it is from 2007 so i bet you've improved :) good luck pal from ENGLAND
Incorrect, He capsized because he stayed on the lewerd side of the boat to long. other than that mate you looking pritty sweet, just be careful how far you get the boat to heel over and when you are going through a roll tack sheet out about a foot and then when you come out of the roll tack pump the sail on and this will give you a lot better outcome
the reason you capsized on that roll tack is you didnt sheet in enough. hold on to the mainsheet really tight then when you've got a grip on the gunnel on the new side of the tack, loosen the sheet and let it drop a bit then sheet in as you flatten the boat

but during a roll you want to two block it so the sail doesnt act as a brake going through the air

well those of us who insist on taking the piss when it comes to roll tacks know it all too well, when you put the roll into roll tack.

you're flattening the boat too soon off the roll, you should also try letting the sheet out more to power up off the tack
