Re: T-boning a Ferry in Sidney

No, he's not on a beam reach. Notice that his sail is a full right angles to the boat and pressed hard on the spreader - sorry he's DDW or something very close. Looking at the full video, you'll...

Re: T-boning a Ferry in Sidney

Look closely at the video. His spinnaker pole is set on his starboard side. I willing to bet his genua got blown off the pole by the wind. With that heavy a wind, he probably couldn't winch in his...

Re: T-boning a Ferry in Sidney

Re the other thread currently running about knives - this is the reason I have sheath knives permanently mounted at the helm and at the mast (plus the foldable I always carry). In this situation,...

Re: T-boning a Ferry in Sidney

I got flattened once in a blow like that (I know much better now). I think I would have taken the knock-down rather than the collision. If you'r hanging on tight - you'll make it and the boat will...

Re: T-boning a Ferry in Sidney

I have been out in a 50+ knot blow and it certainly is no picnic. But if I had seen that cloud front coming, I'd have dropped the main and runon my genny only.

Re: T-boning a Ferry in Sidney

yeah, he apparently had more problems than he needed. I think I would have put the helm hard over and gone on a beam reach. He would have laid the boat down, but it wouldn't have flipped and that...

Re: T-boning a Ferry in Sidney

NO he was going DDW - notice that his spinnaker pole is set - he was running butterfly with the main to one side and genua poled out other. Damn if I know how he got his genua loose from the pole....
