Had a similar thing happen a couple of seasons back, small boat huge genny, shy reach, major problems, it was filmed from shore and played back in the club for a laugh, man were there some embarrassed people after the audio was played with all their comments when THEY had no idea what to do!!

This is what it would look like if I tried my hand at sailing....complete headaches for me and laughs for everyone else.

ahh thats nothing ive had the top of the mast under the water when we broached racing my 28ft seal it was so funny one guy was on the toilet and i was laughing at that fact that the rudder was out the watter good times.

I like to throw my kite halyard into the water and let it drag out straight. It never tangles. and it Psych's anyone trying to over take :P
-
oh, btw that boat is made in china too :D

@jsmcguireIII they were trying to take the spinn' down with a the stretch and blow technique. When using this particular technique, you head appr. 90 degrees or more apparent WS and release the halyard so that it flies horizontally and dowses, so the crew can pull the chute inside the boat. What the crew did wrong was that they released the halyard too slowly and didn't pull the chute tight enough so that it would have not catched the wind and gone out of control
-
that was the slowest stretch n' blow spinnaker take down I have ever seen... yanks, allways putting up a show.

Sail #009, please report to the committee boat!
Looks like they lost control of the spin sheet and then tried to release the halyard - nearly nosediving/broaching her. No one seems to be wearing PFDs - that would have been ugly if they had a MOB. The skipper should have headed straight downwind and dowsed the chute - and crew - KEEP IT DRY!

ryanstask - no big deal - new boat, lines get tangled.
What gets me is the woman yelling "oh my god" "Oh my God"!!! Good grief stay on shore.

We had a number of green crew members and a major windshift coming into the San Diego bay when this happened. Also, pit allowed some lines to become horribly tangled. Too bad the rest of the day's sail was not filmed - it was glorious.
