The worst mistake the made was to Sail a Hunter

[panacruise]

this was obviously a training situation, hence indeed the flotation device dangling from the mast, but unnecessary, since in these situation the boats always loose rudderpower and run into the wind. one bad aspect, when training this the companionway should always be closed, to avoid a possible partial flooding of the cabin

[oartalk]

That's not a capsize, you loser mother f$&ker!

[johnchang7]

I don't see why the guy went to leeward like that. It seemed like it was going just fine until he did. I would have pulled in the jib if was on a furler, pointed it a little more downwind and reefed the main.

I miss it when dose it capsize

@International588 Actually the point was not to "capsize" it, but to learn what happens in a "Round-up" . the boat will turn into the wind as the genoa (front sail) empties.

As panacruise mentioned, the Hunter (and many boats with 'spade" rudders) lose rudder authority when the force of the wind is too far forward, as boat heels over. Cranking the wheel increases the rudder angle of attack,losing rudder force. better to reef the genoa, trim main. and sail hands off.

[International588]

why did they realese the sails if the point was to try to capsize it??

@eltonfan990 There could be a squall... the video doesn't show us the sun so you can't be sure.. I assumed that it was, or that it was just a stronger blow of air by looking on sails, rudder.. anyway I see your point.

[Sailer12121]

This was a test obviously judging by the buoyancy bag on top that's full of water that was purposely done it wasn't an accident that was to show the stability of the boat and how will right itself.

[mnpd007]

I don't figure that. A sloop will spill more air out of the sails as it heels. The guy is running a bit too much sail on a small boat for the conditions, but I coudn't believe how tender the boat was... it went straight over quick! Does this boat have a retractable keel which wasn't cracked fully down?
