Here are a bunch of blokes enjoying the power of a 30' Skiff.

But then... Play time is abruptly cancelled...

Nice Ben, nice
Would of been a good under 18 twilite sail after.
Reserve me a spot next time it goes out befor something breaks again!

bow goes down, tack-line slips through cleat, everything goes pear shape.

R3d sure might contemplate it, who r u???
big O how long did it take u to work out that the tack line went

but the skipper was doing a fantastic job out in front of the pack, and was only let down by the owner jks

I think Bigo may have buried the nose of a boat before, and seen one happen once somewhere.

Who was the dude that 1st stood on the kite-sheet just after it went up and then promptly sat right in front of the poor sod playing it? I don't know much about big boats but isn't that a really good way to lose a toe or a limb or something? Or did you have all three of those blokes playing the kite?

Ben..."R3d sure might contemplate it, who r u??? "


R3D, red... rusty??
bloodnut??
think... who has red hair and sails...

yer it takes a couple of blokes to pull it on, that was the BMF so 125+m^2

sort of spotted it on the first watch so rewinded a little bit.

if you watch near the end of the vid, just before the writing comes up, the bow goes down and the kite disappears from view, then the bow comes up and the kite is no longer at the end of the pole.
