HAHAHA.... they flipped their jillion dollar yacht! Hilarious.
-
Not to second guess, but it seemed to be 4 seconds between the "we're out of control" to beyond the point of unable to recover, long enough to cut the main sheet if it was jambed. I'd make that decision in a second, if it was that or flip. Admittedly, from my armchair, but I assume no one was in a close enough position to get to it in time.

It went tits up
-
Why not just release the boom and let her fall down again? Even if its a race and you loose speed you wont loose your multi million yacht
-
"CHOQUE CHOQUE CHOQUE !!!" ooooh, bé là, cha passe po ! ^^
-
They uncleated the jib, but they didn't dump the main, unless the main was jammed, but wouldn't you dump the traveller? What were they doing cooking beef?
-
WTF, if you're too dumb to loosen up the sheets, at least swim like hell if you're floundering underneath that beast.
-
Does anyone know if this was the former Banque Populaire (now Spindrift 2)?
-
Does anyone have inside knowledge as to why no one released the sheets?! Was the crew on heroin or asleep?
-
Well I would imagine that those sailors will never made that make again.
-
What?! Why didn't they release the main and jib sheets?
-
Why didn't someone release the sheets?
-

-
They had the sheets cleated. Didn't know that was acceptable when flying a hull.
-
