I was tasked to capsize a Pico once upon a time during a photo shoot for a sailing book. The idea was to show the capsize drill through a series of photos.  It was hard work !  Have you ever tried to capsize a boat by pretending to accidentaly do it ???  I didn't think it looked very convincing!

Try the number game, i always find this a good laugh when the wind dies and i am coaching:

one in each boat

number actions 1-4 i.e 1) capsize, 2) run round the mast, 3) change boats, 4) attempt climbing the mast. you can vary the number of activities and what they are.

always a great sucess

pirates is amazing, the trick is 2 hav a small crew in a topper with flippers and a snorkel! they dive underneath the water, grab hold of the enemy daggerboard and flip it! sooo funny! exept when it happens to you....
