Wave Sweeper - Beneteau 40.7 Spinnaker broach

@ Bluelinespeed, tweekers are fitted, and yes the crew recovered well despite the dent in the foil!!

Incredibly stupid not to wear life jackets!

Fit some "tweeters" from the deck to the spinnaker sheet, this will lower the sheeting angle to the spinnaker and help you control/prevent the spinnaker roll in large seas.

They were very lucky not to break the spinnaker pole and the forestry with the crew member releasing the guy like that... Start with the kicker/vang, then the spinnaker sheet. Do not adjust the guy in the event of a broach.

Yes, you can see the Guy/Brace hitting the forestay. We found a decent dent in it after this! :)

Actually, i think that's not a real good recovery... They should have: - Release the boom downhaul at the very first moment (immediately) - NEVER EASE THE GUY! Before the broach they might have: - lift up the pole - tight the "tweakers"

Cause they just avoided a chinese broach. I'd be happy at that point.

WOW. It is interesting the dangling tug of war preceding the broach, the 1-2- 3- uooops, rule seems at work here. I am asking if a more up wind attitude could possiblu have cured the thing BEFORE it was going ..upssss.

THAT IS THE CALMEST REACTIONS AND SORTING OF A BROACH I HAVE EVER SEEN - WELL DONE

The skipper sleeps again.......

Grish change sides?

where was all the yelling that usually comes with a broach recovery?

pity about the forestay
