bachoWhat's going on in that pic?

That's my H18 with wings on it's side after a capsize at A-Mark during the 2012 Juana Good Time Regatta. If you click to get the full size pic you can see me in the water at the bow trying to rotate the boat.

Caused quite the obstruction at A-Mark.

Posted it as an example of being over-powered, gusty day and I was solo, even someone my size can have more power than needed.

I see now, hard to see that pic on my phone, I thought the wings were the mast/main.

I had many moments like that on the turbo i20, built to race in 4-8kts as is typical in this area, but things happened really fast in 15-20!

had a chance to test the new sails here lately...unreal power in all winds! makes a calm day more fun...makes a windy day challenging . the control over the sail shape is nice. the response to a puff is instant, you feel the mast jump and your gone...the old sails felt like a 4 cylinder, the new ones like a full blown V8. learning to fully utilize these puppys is gonna be fun!
