At the very end when the boat is right and begins to take off you will see one person still overboard in their wake. :eekdrop:
I wonder if he was still attached to a lifeline ?

I don't have many "Man Crushes" but these guys are "Bad Ass" As have said before Helmets on a Sailboat.....that says something.

WOW, They get it righted with sails still deployed and it just starts taking off again!

Where were the lanyards for the kill switch? :)

Nice steering by the other captains. They were flying close together and no impacts.

Holy **** you're right. I would not be a happy camper if my crew left me behind floating in the San Francisco bay!....You might end up on shark week on Discovery. ;)

I did the same thing in Jamaica. Cats don't like a big tail wind when turning!
