Whats wrong?

[horvathandras]

the wind was too strong.The boat was on the side

[iwuvwoo234]

why did it take so long to right itself?

[etarepsedllits48]

think a running backstay got caught round the end of the boom.

[jsmcguireIII]

that's balls out racing

[grumpybowman]

I built the rudders and bowsprit for this boat, bit upset they have stopped racing

[Baldino92]

God I would give anything for being there for five minutes

[Baldino92]

*to be there for five minutes

[grumpybowman]

yeah, after the first 5 that spray might become a bit tedious

[tondelayo29]

I have stood for hours my face being pounded by the spray until it was numb...Learning what I call my head dip....timing the crashing of the wave with my head dip which works 60% of the time.....an experience I will go for at every opportity. I feel it when I watch this racers....

OMG what a way to spend a day on the water!!! This is a massive Chinese Gybe, not gear failure but certainly a "moment"

[Baldino92]
