[quote=carl2]took the 450 Nacra out in 25 mph gusts after being challenged by the brother in law..so I told him I would if he would use our 26 foot pontoon boat as a chase boat safety boat..lucky we did cause on our 2nd starboard tack we stuck the leaward hull but good..stood her straight up..she popped back up like a cork and went over on her side..my daughter hit her head on the mast & got a concussion..I landed in the sail ..then I had to get to my daughter and hold her while the brother in law maneuvered in with the rescue boat..got her on the pontoon boat while my son stood on the hull of the nacra, then my son & I righted it but he was cold & had enough. My daughter was ok & will still go sailing but not in anything over 15..probably should have had helmets. :-O
came into the beach on a downwind..there was so much pressure on the sails I couldn't depower them..now I have a quick release on the jib clew & a snap shackle on the blocks to the main.. 8-)<!-- editby --><em>Edited by carl2 on Oct 31, 2016 - 04:16 PM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
