That's easy, he who hesitates... Shouldn't have changed your mind when you first went for it. Even I can spot that. ------------- https://www.ease-distribution.com/" rel="nofollow - https://www.ease-distribution.com/ |

It might be an illusion brought on by camera angle, but it looks like you are gybing with the main a long way in, too. Hesitation lost you speed, then the sail just blew you over as too much difference in windspeed and boatspeed. Suspect it was windier than it looks? ------------- Firefly 2324, Puffin 229, Minisail 3446 Mirror 70686 |

Looks like a very big course change leading to the gybe, which makes it difficult to control in a strong wind. Better to get onto a broad reach and then gybe rather than trying to go for it from a close reach. The hesitation can't have helped either. ------------- Peter Ex Cont 707 Ex Laser 189635 DY 59 |
