Very good recovery, they did all the right stuff to get the boat back upright quickly and safely.

@jonnyrebel1000 On the slugs you sail maybe you might get away with that, on the performance keelers and sportsboats I sail the vang and main are trimmed by seperate crew working together, and if the boom hits before the vang comes off you are toast, happens quick at 20-25knots downwind, not that you would know!! So jonnyfuckwit, back to the rear of the fleet with you where you belong, and leave guys like me and my boys to win regatta's !!!

@bigkiwial Hmmm, any chance you could make a comment without being rude, YOU FUCKING TWAT. Thank goodness I never sail with you, I'd implant a winch handle in your head before the first gybe. Ease the main sheet is a first resort, always trim the main, if the main drops to far to leward and hits the water, dump the kicker. Now you can try this and learn to control a broach properly, instead of being a arrogant fool. Thank you.

@biscayforce12 Excellent observation. When on the main sheet, jib sheet, and spinnaker sheet...............you have to help the helmsman... and to do that you need to be totally and always aware and ready. Or step aside and let someone more able take your spot. Sailing is a series of high-excitement with quite periods in between. Cheers Mark

@damon4130 Broach, broach and broach

lol 1st thing to do would be to dump the vang then ease the kite sheet you dont ease the brace all that does is bends your pole round the forestay. not a bad broach though
