Wipe out

[@samthomas4531]

Well what better way to teach a lesson than hands on. That was great lesson he broached on purpose to teach a person how to correct situation. You all may criticize this video but the lesson is priceless.

[@USA4thewin]

good work from the skipper to keep everyone safe there great job

[@davidpage459]

Made me smile. We have all been there. I can't wait for the start of the 2021 season

[@onewheelisbetterthan2]

Honestly everything I know about sailing I taught myself.... Spinikers overpower the boat by a lot so it's something to learn and practice in light winds. Its amazing how fasst you can go down wind even against a tide

[@TheSoling27]

I was, with my wife ( a White Sail 2 sailor), sailing with a gentleman whom had more sailing experience in his pinky than many.. on his Soling.. and he said lets set the spinnaker...ok I said but I haven't done that for a decade or more....no worries he says -- do as I say.. 10/4 says I... get it ready.. pole in place .. 15 knots .. we round down.. jibe and pull the halyard... if a gust din't hit...the chute drops in the water and rather than wind it fills with water.. He, in an excited but calm voice tells my wife to take the helm ... and DO EXACTLY AS I SAY...wide eyed and white knuckled she takes the tiller....we, he and I release sheet and guy and heave the halyard to get it out of the water... it fills .. and take all the lines to their maximum length, but it fills to the stern of the boat so that we are sailing backwards ... under full main and spinnaker as a kite...Deb to her credit is exact in her directed movements... the Soling gains speed in reverse giving us steerage... he ( Red - his knickname) instructs her to port the helm , thus swinging the bow under the filled spinnaker, reverses direction and we sheet home the lines and take off like a bat out of hell...twas awesome .. God Speed Red RIP and thanks for the memory.

i know I'm kinda randomly asking but do anybody know a good website to watch new series online?

[@deckerjadiel5836]

@Cayson Maximiliano lately I have been using Flixzone. You can find it by googling =)

[@dashmarcellus8610]

@Decker Jadiel Definitely, I have been watching on FlixZone for since march myself =)

@Decker Jadiel Thanks, I signed up and it seems like a nice service =) I really appreciate it !

[@deckerjadiel5836]

@Cayson Maximiliano glad I could help :)

Made the same two years ago on First 18, good to remember those moments

wear life jackets

[@iamtanyamarie]

I was thinking this the entire time lol

[@Schipperjm]

You forgot to let the " hale-bas " go so the maine sail steel catch the wind...

[@vedro4]

Can someone explain me in detail why this tilt was so angled and what should they have done to reduce it

[@rupertchapman9037]

the problem would be averted if the boat kept on a downwind course. The helm could have steered to a full run after the pole was brought down. Without the pole the spinnaker is not pulling correctly and starting to lever the boat to heel by the pull of the sail rising higher. Once heeling the boat automatically steers towards the wind which means the sail is now further to midships and causing more heel. If they could have kept the boat steering directly downwind, it would have been fine, but once heeling, it is impossible to use the rudder to steer downwind against the force of the hull trying to steer upwind. More hands on the foredeck would have enabled the kite to be pulled in if the halyard was released carefully.

[@misterc1881]

Why not to port the helm and release the bout of the spinnaker when it starts to heel ?

[@sthompson3]

Looks like you started turning to port at the 0:26 mark when you should have been turning the other way if at all.

[@ji6050]

Thanks for that. I was always wondered whether that there was more than one way to drop a kite. Lucky.

[@timburnett6729]

Good job

[@albertovermicelli9935]

this is why lifejackets exist children

Forgot to square the pole back

[@wavecutter69]

What camera system with the data are you using? That is really cool

[@ИванДавыдов-ю6д]

Удачи!!!

[@mateyko555]

Where did this force come from? he has everything loose. was it the spinaker that he didnt "turn off" by going more onto the wind?

[@bramsaar]

Just realease that vang at first

[@akjhome]

Nice recovery. But no life vests?

[@alnothere]

Why there is always somebody with a stupid question?

[@akjhome]

Why troll me?

[@ClayBabcock]

The boat is generally very stable. In big wind and waves we do.

[@akjhome]

In my humble opinion, you made a nice recovery. By the book. Kudos to you! And stable boats dump people all the time. This video is an excellent example of great seamanship and a strong chance of crew overboard anyway. I don’t want to lose any sailors just because they didn’t wear a simple float device. Cheers to you and your next sail!

[@luismiguelvareladasilva82]

I’m a novice in sailing. Can you explain why wasn’t easier to steer strait downwind, let the boat level and then deal with the sail? Thanks

[@marksardar4557]

No big deal as long as don't sail by the lee. Someone needs to learn move round the boat with the lee rail under. Might have been a problem if MOB.

[@ben3989]

Haha what’s the point of the spinnaker if it doesn’t try to kick your ass every now and then.

[@marksardar4557]

Jackstays?

[@rancraft]

Clay can you explain how didi you fix the second pair of winchs on the 260? or can you make a video with the position and kind of fixing ?tnku

Ciao Conte, I've been getting this question a lot. I'll respond with a detailed post either later today or over the weekend!

@@ClayBabcock May I ask why you didn't just sail into the wind and release tension in your port line of the spinaker?

Hi, whats the OSD gauge on your video? App or GoPro any? Thank you!

All these moves without reason. You should have straightened the camera angle and keep moving...

[@allanresca8855]

Seigneur

[@dn5538]

The skipper caused this by keeping the helm to port for an excessive amount of time. I hope hope the intention of sharing this is to show how not to helm downwind

[@thierryvoisin1210]

Original!

[@alfreddouglass2416]

Wow! Are these people from Kansas? Chutes are unclipped at the pole-end of the guy, halyard dumped and the chute is retrieved with the SHEET and pulled UNDER the BOOM! Down the hatch! Or you can use the St. Francis patch or EVEN in light-to-moderate air, the "weather (guy first) take-down". Krikeys! These guys need coaching. Nobody of this level of (in)competence should try this in anything over 4 kts. :-D

[@santiagomarani7758]

When de peope doing all bad

Why not let go of the halyard? And pull in the sheets! Utterly stupid!
