  • A pitchpole implies burying the nose of the boat at speed,

    This maneuver is called 'crew flops around forestay and boat tips over'.

  • @hagenar so you are saying that the crew 'flopping round the forestay' had nothing to do with the nose going into a wave?

  • no it was weymouth.

  • @hagenar yeh look at the bow of the boat its completely buried thats why the crew falls

  • wow nice skipper hah dint check to see if the crew was ok lol

  • @thetalkingelement Whatever. Enjoy being a stuck-up bigot.

  • @HuErigerable id say i would be pretty close LOL..

  • @thetalkingelement Wow this sort of sailing isnt overerly expensive. They make one mistake without seeing them sail at all never knowing them personally at all and you already have a generalisation about them LOL!

  • serve's you rich boy's right... and try doing that on a flat out reach with a kite, not bearing around a marker. that there just show's the skipper ('s dad has too much money and no sailing knowledge)

  • @29erguru not a pitchpole. a patented 'forestay walk'

  • OMG It must have hurt launching out of the boat.
