Big Boat Knock Down (part #2)

Big boat part 2, after the round up of the black boat the boats passing by have a close call. The knock down if you watch closely, you will see the captain fall overboard. He get's rescued by the race committee. Maybe that will be part 3 so look for it.

um hellooooooo, mr mainsheet monkey, time to ease the main. thanks.

[Zerstiren]

Release main and bear off fools

[MrGarnache]

Actually the problem was they didnt want to release the sheet because they didnt want to re deploy another spinaker ..... I would call it crazy ballzy sailing not bad .... in the end they only lost 200 yards, releasing it would be 2000 ... but yes letting the mainseet go a little more would have helped, the jibe was cause by turning the boat not the wind, it was actually a pretty decent save in the end

@ryts92 do you actually know what you're talking about? You Spelt gybe like jibe so it would be very hard to even trust that you know what you are on about. K thanks bye

[ryts92]

the problem wasnt the mainsheet it was that the boat was dead downwind and the spinnaker was al the way to windward so when the boat was hit by a weird wave or a shift the kte rotated more to windward which made the boat accidentally jibe. Possible solutions in heavy wind to avoid this are to never go dead-downwind and never have the spinnaker pole very far off the forestay to avoid having the spinaker drive the boat down. this is another example of why asymmetrical sprit boats are better

..un buon albero....un pessimo equipaggio.

its disappointing to see such nice boats sailed so poorly

A dismasting would have been icing on the cake.

Sailing on the bay is ALWAYS memorable.

@unibrook they're on a starboard tack heading downwind, they couldnt let the main out! and they capsized to windward!
