[quote=turbohobo][quote]sudden gust knock that huge sail plan over to a 45degree angle and tiny little you fully out on the wire steering and dumping sheet to recover control and bring her back down[/quote] You said it Erice, was out sailing yesterday in 18-20 knot winds, trapped out fully when a huge gust hit, dumped sheet, boat kept on going over past the 45 degree angle, I'm looking down at the mainsail and decide to dump totally and let go sheet, boat slaps back down, I fly off the boat in an arc skipping across the water, boat heads into wind and we meet up with me gracefully sliding back onto the tramp feet 1st. I'm thinking how fortuitous when I hear the sound of clapping from spectators beachside who saw the whole thing, I collect my wits and sail off in a much more docile manner untill my legs stop shaking..... :roll: [/quote]
