Fwd: Crash mode of AC-70

[Joel McMinn]

Hey gang!  Remember some fun with gyges and capsizes?  Mast floaties?  -

here it is in spades.  NZ's AC-70 post-gybe capsize.  I predict a future vid where the crew rights it without assist!

typical 3x windspeed in a light breeze.

Nice!  I bet that landing from the "bit of a high fly" had to be jarring.  Slowed the boat and brought the apparent wind much further aft.  Maybe knocked the trimmers out of position so they couldn't ease the sheets?  I guess that's what happens on over trimmed 70ft boats without a keel.

Thanks for sharing.

Good point, Nick. I was wondering why the main didn't get eased, especially when we're talking an incredibly high caliber of sailor in this situation.

Best regards,

Off topic, but does anyone know of a supplier for V15 blades aside from Intensity Sails??

Merry Christmas
