col j 0 Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 I seem to recall that boat doing something to the side of an anchored something in a winter series race 2 years ago? problem 1 is the Chinese. steer up and/or brace forward, forward led downhaul so solution is a massive sheet on in a hurry. oh s**t we have gybed. better stop this headsail from sliding to leeward..... I see they dropped the halyard and let the sheet go so the lot went in the drink, loaded up and snapped the foreward led downhaul then the pole folded around the side stays. woops on the boat I was on we did a gybe where the boom didn't go through and we fell over, boom and pole in the water, not that far in though. Sheeted on, sailed out of it and won. yippie. Link to post Share on other sites
