  • Very good recovery, they did all the right stuff to get the boat back upright quickly and safely.

  • Why was he sailing under spinnaker into the harbour!?

  • i love how they just dont do shit just keep the sails tight and for some dumb reason head up lol!

  • lol 1st thing to do would be to dump the vang then ease the kite sheet you dont ease the brace all that does is bends your pole round the forestay. not a bad broach though

  • dis is nothing on a shaw 30 cainting keeler we have had the wind gear in da water and every one standing on the top sides. i was on da for deak and ended up standing on the prod

  • What a hot dog.

  • That skipper's nuts for running into a harbor with that much sail on. What's he thinking?

  • penso l'abbia mollato piu che averlo rotto il circuito, se lo avesse tenuto e lo spy si fosse riempito di acqua...bè si sa

  • katastrofe !! :)

  • Menghia s'è rotto il circuito!

  • very risky !!!

  • So why wasn't the main sheet let go?

  • @biscayforce12 Excellent observation. When on the main sheet, jib sheet, and spinnaker sheet...............you have to help the helmsman... and to do that you need to be totally and always aware and ready. Or step aside and let someone more able take your spot. Sailing is a series of high-excitement with quite periods in between. Cheers Mark

  • Not close to a broach.... But it's a pretty risky place to fly a kite :)

  • big balls or little brains...

    Perhaps a combination of the two :P

  • @damon4130 Broach, broach and broach

  • What an awful place to be flying a spinnaker.

  • Haha. But yes... Who let off the brace! It's so scary when you nearly get dumped off the boat, though.

  • The dipshit that let the brace go would get a kicking!!

  • @bigkiwial, letting the brace off would depower the spinnaker, therefore reducing the severity of the broach and round up. Get your facts right.

  • @bryce65 Fucking idiot, letting go of the brace, the guy or the pole sheet whatever a wanker like you wants to call it will only power up the kite even more as the boat is already sideways and the kite would go further round pulling the boat over even more, the only way out is to dump the trimming sheet and hope its not to short (like your brain) and as an absolute last resort, dump the halyard, you know fuck all dipshit.

  • @bigkiwial, fight me cunt.

  • @bigkiwial Hmmm, any chance you could make a comment without being rude, YOU FUCKING TWAT. Thank goodness I never sail with you, I'd implant a winch handle in your head before the first gybe. Ease the main sheet is a first resort, always trim the main, if the main drops to far to leward and hits the water, dump the kicker. Now you can try this and learn to control a broach properly, instead of being a arrogant fool. Thank you.

  • @jonnyrebel1000 On the slugs you sail maybe you might get away with that, on the performance keelers and sportsboats I sail the vang and main are trimmed by seperate crew working together, and if the boom hits before the vang comes off you are toast, happens quick at 20-25knots downwind, not that you would know!! So jonnyfuckwit, back to the rear of the fleet with you where you belong, and leave guys like me and my boys to win regatta's !!!

  • LOL that was bearly a broach xD

  • Who cares.. you guys talk as if broaching is a big deal...

  • not a big deal, just a little scary at the moment its happening

  • oooleee^^

  • amateurs

  • epic failure lol!

  • look at their course, They were coming up to pinch clear of that breakwater. Rudder cavitates then quickly the tactician gets a pie in the face.

  • So, so, so, lucky to get away with that where they were . . .

  • Haha, I deliver loads of these yachts and unlike most deliveries, I'm encouraged, even instructed to fly the kite's or chute's. It's hard work but....

  • maybe if you guys try to ease the main sheet, that should not happen...

  • asymetrical spinnakers tend to make the main backwind and slow the boat down so sheet in :P

  • is that an asymetrical spinnaker? watch the vid again mate...

  • ... lol uhh oops symetrical** lol but my why are they sheeted in sofar on a broad reach i guess they broached to avoid the seawall?

  • This is why having your pole forward with a heel on is asking for water in one ear!
