Island Time 1,247 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Quite a good video of the interior of a keelboat when rolled over. It is a test, not the real thing, but gives some idea. Also a god video to understand angle of vanishing stability... Link to post Share on other sites
Black Panther 1,601 Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Great video, well done those people. My thoughts 1) It was way too slow, we were over and back up in seconds. 2) Biggest issue is damage to humans, the boat will probably survive. We had a guy pissing blood for 3 days after landing on his back across the table. 3) They nailed the biggest lesson to be taken, screw everything down. Some years later in similar conditions (no rollover but close) hardly any problems at all but the boat so much better prepared. Link to post Share on other sites
Island Time 1,247 Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share Posted February 5, 2015 Yep, and considerably less violent than a real roll over, which is often inside, or in the trough of a wave after being thrown down the face.... Still, interesting... Link to post Share on other sites
