[quote=biscaynecatsailor]Actually took the 16 out last sunday when we had a 25-30 mph wind with gust a little over 30 and capsized it (not roughly, it didn't slam down as it wasn't a pure wind capsize, it was an almost backwards pitchpole after sheeting out before jibing that turned into a pitchpole because the waves were deep in that area. Long story short somehow it broke the masthead off with the pulleys and bubble. Rivets broke, 1/6 was missing in first place. Amazingly, mast was positively buoyant and it did not turtle. Flipped it up and sailed home with masthead hanging down by tramp and sail about a foot down, boom laying on the tramp almost.
A good day at sea.<!-- editby --><em>Edited by biscaynecatsailor on Mar 30, 2013 - 01:54 PM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
