There is a similar photo sequence in the latest issue of Y&Y.

Also check out the club review in Y&Y - there is a picture of an unmanned Mirror dinghy.

falling into the mainsail isnt always bad, i went into my mainsail in the 800 feet first (i blame my crew pushing me backwards as he tried to clear the forestay) but i didnt go through, just stood up and walked back up it and climbed over the wing. Glad i was only 60kg at the time tho.

wow i  imajine that would give the walking on water feeling.  i think it depends on the size of the sail to how much weight it could support

jumping into the main is the best way to capsize in a contender

you don't have to worry about the sail if it is dacron, it's just posh laminates that you are likely to fall through.
