  • IT is funny the comments people make....the comment before yours thought the helm went flying....it was the crew and he had a foot strap. It is not generally tricky at all but it was really gusty and this was 2 kids that we coach...14 and 16 at the time....with about a year or so of hard sailing. It was blowing hard enough that they were one of the few boats that went out.

  • Chicken wires should be a solution. Saved me a couple time from falling over like this.

  • not a full pitch-pole, more of a sudden stop, then capsize. for a real pitch-pole, watch my video of me pitch-poling my Cherub skiff!

  • nice, not as bad as i thought it would be

  • A big time "trip", I agree, but not a real pitchover.

    Not trying to take away from the great teenage training program going on here.

    Just trying to clarify the difference, as I was taught what a pole pitchover really is.

    Keep it up! Way to fly!!

  • ive met u guys before and im really interested in what u guys do. I sail radials in the gya. Im from gulport yacht club.

  • I'm smiling

  • @Jahmohn thank you!

  • @ducttape5030

    Its the tiller extension. When sailing downwind, if the wind is heavy it tends to be easier to just throw the extension behind the boat and steer with the cross bar.

  • That's one fast 16...., and the crew is quite tuned in, good on ya' gents. I have a Super 19 but would have to have an extra man at least 200+ lbs. to even consider going up against you. 'Course when there are 6-8ft. waves, it'd be a different story, you "almost" can't pitch-pole, not bragging mind you...., so far ya'll are the best crew witnessed in cyber-land.

  • Win or swim attiude!
