Know when you’re overpowered and know how to de power. Been there when the boat owner was pushing the envelope too hard off shore racing to Monterey. He ended up getting half knocked out by the main gear, which saved us. Ok, time to take over and get home safely.
Seen the movie a few times now. To me these guys are stupid, and irresponsible. Whilst ahead of the game ( the others are not even near ) they don’t anticipate on the changed circumstances at a high price, losing gear this time, but it could have been far worse.
Oops. That’s one way to shorten sails!

Nice run ahead of the storm…..
Yacht model?
WOW THAT’S ALL
Looks like a J90? Anyone know what it is?
What exactly happened there at the end? Did they break the mast?
Yes, the storm was there, 60 knots….. Thanks for all your comments and thanks to the morpho team.
Watching that storm reel ‘em in and thinking “round up round up round up you’re gonna bury the bow”
Watch the last 15 seconds to much sail

Rob Flanagan. Wasn’t this what it was like coming back from Pulbah Island many many moons ago?
Awesome – I wonder how fast? Looks very fast indeed.!
Round up and drop sail on the 3rd time you make a powerboat wake unless you have unlimited $
what boat is it?
Too much sail breaks the rigging, once again.
Talk about a pucker moment.
Get your guy off the bow!
MY GOODNESS, ARE YOU ALL O.K. A.KATH

Once I was caught in a storm like that, it was from blue skies and calm sea to this type of storm in a few minutes.

Preemptive PFD strike was ineffective…
Always a good idea to take a peek behind you in those conditions! But brave work boys, & who hasn’t left too much rag up from time to time?
