Big Boat Knock Down (part #1)

[iappsdev]

it's just not professional sailing, it's shows how the rich people can't even sale in SF bay area.

[redted136]

this isnt a knockdown... its just heading up out of control

[joecoolworld]

Go to part two ... for knock down ...

[diceccon]

"Who the fuck let the guys loose? Come on! Don't be shy"

[KibbleDog007]

Wow! The thrill of sailing!

[HighDefinitionVideo]

You can see it was blowing like stink. That is part of the thrill. If things like this didn't happen occasionally you aren't pushing hard enough :)

[abrokenpot]

I'm a novice sailor. It seems that the downwind run is the operation that gives the helmsman the least control and makes a broach most likely, especially in gusty weather, no? I don't have a spinnaker so I don't have quite the same risk. These videos are useful to demonstrate the danger, but I'm not clear on how to avoid it.

[Bodie2]

Never, never, never let the guys go. First sign of broach, blow the spinnaker sheet.

[mbenjam1]

You can get into a lot more trouble downwind than up, that's for sure.

[iwuvwoo234]

isnt that what you call a "chinese gybe"

[Gnarlybra]

Swan 60 "Moneypenny"

[shotgunsheila1]

Does anyone know if this is the infamous "Ragtime"? I believe their sail # is 7960...

[54luke]

if you could do that on purpose say going around a bouy in a yacht race,...you'd proly win....hehehehe...nice broach....

[injabulo]

not much of a knockdown but I bet the owner was pleased it wasn't any worse

[dnyknot]

BS , The chute never touched the water , they never dipped the spreaders , I have sailed the bay more than 40 yrs , if they call this a knock down , then maybe they should drive a cable car .

[joecoolworld]

Dude, check out part # 2

[Starlingb758]

Ouch!

[bananasplitsecond]

forgot the boom...hehehehehe...

[DisruptiveMoose]

I hate broaching,especially in dinghies.That wasnt really a knockdown by the way cos the spinnaker sheet wasnt tight enough so it just lost its power as it swung round...

[prankster185595]

woow that was a very gooood broach haha

[tmsboston122]

except it wasn't a broach there skippy, just a round up.

[mnpd007]

Wet his boom is all... no knockdown unless the keel breaks water.

[darthnutcase]

lol how fast the "spinnicar"? slowed it down after the turn

[Jackle61]

Never mind,, I just saw 2 & 3.

[Jackle61]

Where's the knockdown?

[gyrfalcon]

Rich boys, big toys, little pricks...
