Its a feeling foolish - foam sandwich hull with wood decks inspired by Merlins(more flared at the stern) so not your average foolish.. now nearly 12 years old but still going like a train Smile

Give the crew a break, there was a lull (boat rolls slightly to windward just before she went forward to start setting up for the mark, then big gust hit which put bow into the wave.

Cracking sail, shame about the mast, hence the big grins!

What design of 12 is the boat?
Rs300 455

Not very good teamwork there! What was the crew faffing about so far forward for? and why didnt they try to sort the mainsheet out before it all got out of hand?

Looked quite gentle to me; he had time to bear off to deal with the heeling issues and then dump the jib followed by the kite......
 
I assume he was carrying a little too much sail as the helliwhopper was around.
