This is a sequence of photographs I took of the 80th Round the Island Yacht race June 2011. The Dragonfly 28 trimaran "Escape" seen capsizing off the coast of the Isle of Wight at St Catherines Point. All crew were rescued safely.

  • @Bonkeli :: Incorrect :: It doesn't work like that down wind. AND because its a multi-hull you can't round up like a mono-hull when broaching. You have to point it further down wind but since he was burred in a wave....nothing he could do.

  • can you do another version where it is a video of the boat wiping out?

  • Fanstastic series of shots, but the transitions between them are very distracting. Can you do another version where perhaps the transitions are simple fades in and out in place? (I'd think the faster the better).

  • In that kind of conditions you always sail with the mainsheet in your hand. If the skipper hade let go of it at once it wouldn´t have tipped over backwards at all and they could have continued sailing.

  • Fantastic photo's, all crew are ready for this years event, will hopefully avoid any lobster pots and have a cameraman on board

  • Loved it great sequence in pics

    

  • Fantastic series of photos! Personally I would have been sailing with a least one reef and would not have used the spinnaker on the reach in these conditions, I would have waited till I was sailing downwind or at least broad reaching. But then I'm a scaredy cat! The spi was dumped quickly enough but it seemed the main was not dumped at all. The rescue boat was unbelievably quick on the scene! Well done the skipper of that rib.

  • Fantastic shots. Well done Brian. So much to learn from the sequence.
