  • Sheet in,do you look at your telltales

  • Move along, people. No shallows here. Just watch that leeward hull nosing in deeper, deeper, then boom. Crew should have been trapping way aft with the skip.

  • @qleyo I'm sure the boat survived this with no issues. typical rookie crew mistake, skipper should be telling the crew where to move if they aren't experienced.

  • @holdmydill no

  • does the trapeze rig brake when this happens???

  • Surely the skipper standing on the hull like that can't be good for it. I've heard that is a quick way to damage a hobie.

  • Yep. Classic pitchpole.

  • @JRC808 haha a few years back on my old Hobie 14 it was a fairly windy day and one of my shrouds snapped, the mast fell wripped my sail... not good, but it was a fun day so it was worth it

  • the guy hiking out needs to be as far back as he can get

    it keeps the nose up a bit,,less likely to pp

  • Skipper should have been on the tramp, Crew should have come aft. Or if your going to stay there, pop the jib when the lee bow buries..
