Last week at Bala - fluff the tack, think I'll stay dry by aiming for the centreboard, miss the board and plummet face first.....excellent for clearing the sinuses...

My favourite is that when I teabag it off the contender due to an unexpected shift or lull and lose contact with the side, just keep sailing the boat; bear off a tad, sheet in, lie out straight, put the feet back on the gunnel and get lifted out and back sailing again.


the same, but different...

Nah, that last one needs to include videoing it using your free hand and uploading the video using your phone (apple or otherwise) whilst still in the handstand.
