@tincoffin bunch of people with more money than brains flying spinnakers in a gale, thats why.
Once a mono-slug hits its hull speed there is no point in flying more sails, she aint going any faster.

Reef down 2 spots and put your storm jib on and gorgeous sailing.

Armchair sailor.

@mousepad99 ALL the boats in this video are lead mines (giant lead keels)
THEY are not going up on a plane unless they are towed by the USS Enterprize.

Race or no race, it's just plain stupid to risk boat & crew. If no one was injured it was a miracle.

That's the problem with sailing downwind when it's windy. You reach the maximum hull speed very quickly and any gusts you get past that point are converted into pressure on the rig rather than into pushing the boat forward, so the mast breaks very easily. Was everyone alright? It's a horrible thing to happen! :(

I am the guy who ends up in the soup. Thanks for posting this clip, I had lost my VCR tape copy.
The guy who pushes me in was getting hit with the wreckage of the spar and falling foward - it was not intentional

Why did the dudes on the last one throw that fellow in? Isn't being dismasted embarrassing enough that you don't need to have a MOB, too?

@JohnnyPeachPit At the end of the clip, the mast is down but the boom-vang is still on tight. As the mast swings around the boat, the boom swipes across the cockpit, pushing crew against lifelines and sending one unfortunate folk for a swim.
