wrapping sheet around arm.....that's no good! And without life jackets as well...good downwind sailing but geez the ride back upwind must have been....fun...
one addition to tommeyflight89's story: his life jaket wouldnt have saved him after falling overboard! the autopilot would simply sail on and he would have been left in the water to drown or otherwise freeze to death.
I don't see how you guys can even think about sailing without a life jacket on. I may sound like a safety tomato, but when you actually need it and do not have it.. well you know.
I know a man that was sailing his 21ft boat solo with the autopilot. He managed to fall overboard in the middle of the bay. If it were not for his bow line trailing 15ft behind his boat he would have been DONE. It would have kept sailing along.
I single hand all the time with out jacket on lake superior. I figure they just wont find my body! also i hate people who trail lines, they deserve to get them caught in their prop.
How has the trimmer still got a hand left? Really not a fan of wrapping spini sheet around hands!

Is that your centerboard "singing"? Haven't heard that since I sailed a Laser when I was a kid.
Pretty spectacular sailing on the video, but I must agree with the others: be safe, wear a life jacket.

this is not what i call "safe" sailing, I'm racing, and @ our boat the rule is ==> Safety 1. safety 2. speed 3.

And ofcourse he didn't have a life jacket...
