A On it's Nose

Thinking the crew landed on shore <img src=

I have seen that picture before. It is crazy, that is a very serious pitchpoll!!!! I am not sure how it happened, the wind is light and the chop is small.

nothing like a good pitchpole for us adrenalin junkies.. Brings back a few memories.

ARC boats don't do that.

actually the crew landed just between the bows (see blue and red) :-). I think this is how most A-cat nosediving capsizes look like. It looks more spectacular than it actually is. The A is a very light boat and slows down significantly when nosediving, it looks more spectacular so, because once the crew left the boat the burried bows developed so much lift that they push the boat up like seen on the photo of the Egner Flyer. So basically nothing so spectacular here. And remember, its not the boat which nosedives, its the helm who makes it happen! 😉

AWWW, looking at these pictures reminds me why I like sailing.

Reminds me why it is an expensive sport also.......

Roy is always around to catch these...

dug so far under in the second pick that we hit bottom, hence the violent pitch

Ahhh, we were letting the water drain from our wetsuits. Your right, an obvious violation.

Nice paint job on the hulls and 'boards.

I'll bet I could pitch it. <img src=

I like how they took that picture just as the two bodies were hitting the water. Or are they floating there lifeless?

That's pretty funny

Arbo,

We came as close as you can doing our Miami to Key Largo run a few weeks. We came close a few times.
