Spinakers are the death of many boats.

amadorismo total

San Francisco Bay looks like 80s time frame. 30knots is every day in the summer. The old IOR boats were wild going down wind. Todays wide stern sleds are a different deal. 16-20knot boat speeds in the bay is common. Out side the Bay hitting 20's is typical.

First I asked - Spinnaker in 30+ k wind? WTF? Then realized they were racing and everybody had spinnakers. Not surprised one lost mast.

at 1 min seven sec i lol

Rich guys alone thats stupid enough to do shit like that

Politically incorrect jibe.

putting this kind of music with this scene, reminds me of Clockwork Orange where "Alex" loved Beethoven lol
-
MAN OVERBOARD! (as soon as I push him off)

LOL and bust a gut. What a hoot! Brings back some not-so-pleasant memories. Easier to laugh in retrospect!

Anybody knows the name of composition (music)?
-
:D Funny. Spinaker is good, but not in this wind
-
"cut the spinakker"
If that's hard, you set it up wrong. -
at the 1.00 does they guy in the white trousers come out of the cockpit and with his left forearm knock the guy overboard???

This is not really broaching as broaching to me is when moving in a flowing sea where the wave catches up with you, lifts up the transom and digs in the bow with a lot of lateral resistance at the bow, and the lifted transom will go with the wave pivoted on the immersed bows. In these designs the bows are lifted to stop broaching but other issues are created.
When a sail boat is vertical any force on the sails will drive forwards and causes the bow to dig in. When moving downwind the rudder must be large enough to keep her steady.
However if the boat heals and the top of the mast is away from the centre line of the boat, the driving force will now have a moment arm due to the high mast and their is a spanner effect where the torque will rotate the boat while healing and the single rudder so healed will be ineffective to stop the rotation so away she goes. An rotation the final state of the boat with a spinnaker will be that the top of the mast will be pulled with the wind with the boat at right angle to the wind where both rudder and centre board will be inclined and ineffective. If one had a mainsail only the wind will slip over the inclined mainsail and the inclination will be less excessive.
Now with these hulls, as they accumulate speed the water particles are accelerated sideways at the bows that the gained momentum will produce a heavy wave which produces a great hollow under the maximum width of the boat and this sinks in further as the buoyancy of the bows and the transom are not replaced. This leads to a dynamic wave resistance proportional to the velocity cubed and even higher if one keeps pushing it. All this (v)*3 forces will go on the shrouds and the backstay if one is moving downwind as in the last situation and the swaying and other sudden undulations will double the force on the rigging and they fail. I have always declared that the shape off these boats render them to lower them into the the wave when they are hard driven and in fact I would say that they plane in the hollow of the wave till the immersion depth along the lower profile is constant.......... an interesting theory of mine which is well observed in the final situation in this video. -
Why did he jump ship? You know, he really DID jump ship.

Some nice shots of sailboats wiping out from Sailing in Heavy Weather video. Old video, old-school boats - 2 wipeouts, 1 dismasting, 1 guy going for a swim...
