@alanjoanhere a death-roll is a dinghy sailing term when the boat capsizes to windward. i looked up death-roll and found this.. i understand that u named it the death-roll because it was a very strong rocking movement but that is not what you would normally refer to as a death-roll in sailing dinghies.

I dont disagree, no one died! It was a particularly vicious roll though. Far more abrupt than anything we experienced even on our second Atlantic crossing (W-E). The weird thing is that the water in the harbour was barely moving.

@alanjoanhere yes i would understand that it would be rough sleeping on the boat... but that is not a deathroll.

Yes, it is not evident from the video what dangers were lurking in this situation. Hitting anything hard with a boat can wreck stuff. Was the boat damaged or did your drink spill? What was the extent of the casualties? Were people hurt on board the boat as a result of the power boat leaving or a big wave or what ever caused the "death roll" (is the death roll in the video and if so could you estimated the time in the video?). Looks like the stern is close to banging the dock, is that what hit?

@wowthatsailor you might disagree if that were your home and you were on board...

@nojibnorudder No injuries, stern hit the rock harbor wall a few times. Its a sturdy boat so only damage was to SS stern protection and some overstretched docklines. We had to leave the 'protected' harbor and seek shelter at anchor in 35kts meltemi.

@nojibnorudder The roll was continual. We were in a meltemi and it is an anomaly of the harbour configuration that during a meltemi a slight swell enters the harbour. Unfortunately although slight, it sets up the kind of rolling that you saw in the video.
