true...here is the discussion on the blowboaters equivalent to OSO, sailing anarchy http://forums.sailinganarchy.com/ind...howtopic=79808
what I take happened was that the little (40') boat 'rounded up' thats when the blowboat becomes overpowered by the wind and turns uncontrolably (refered to as 'wiping out') |

Just like driving into work this morning, following a slo-puke in the hammer lane, impeding traffic, with a big bumper sticker that says... *SAILBOATER* :mad::mad: why are these knobs all alike :mad: |
The smaller boat should not have been that close to the Falcon to begin with if he could not control his boat.
If ignorance is bliss, this is one blissful blowboater. |

It looks like they turned into the wind intending to gybe and reverse course. The bulk of the Falcon took the wind off their sails and then they lost speed and steering. Rookie mistake. Not enough time to fire up the engine.

He's lucky he was not run over. Right by this rule. Wrong by that rule. It's tough to argue your point when you're dead...
