moral of the story, windsurfers may loop but dinghy sailors can drink tea between races.



Hang on why cant we windsurfers drink tea between races? I think youl find that its easier to come in and have a drink windsurfing than it is when doing a days racing in the international 14 anyways nice little story lol

Pitchpoling a cat at very high speed hurts .................... alot. Usually involves broken battens and sails. No not a chance you could loop a 180kg F18  with anoth 130/40kg of crew on board. As ssailor said its alto do with c of e of the sail and unless you fancy trying to make a cat with a mast which you can move to change the c of e its very unlikly. yes i do windsurf but no i cant do loops i usually end up hanging upside down then bailing out!~!!!!!!!
Go Big or Go home or sail a 49er!!!

If you know your hanging upside down then there is something wrong  , just look back sheet in extend the front arm n tuck ur back leg up, next thing you can actually remember will either be crashing or landing skillfully on your back int he waterstart position!
