Yes has happened quite a few times on the race circuit. However in calm water pretty difficult to blow it over from positive trim. I have experienced personally extreme bow lift running 3 blades with a touch of positive trim...felt like I was on the edge but probably wasn't. I have seen both skaterjim and Charlie T. run extremely bow high as well in flat water...thought Jim was going over once too

Wrap the tow line with one loop around a cleat or bow eye, hold onto the remaing line. The loop takes all the tension, you just have to keep the line from slipping through the anchor point. When the boat comes on plane simply let go of the rope and it slips back through the anchor point and your on your way. You can actually do it with one person if your tow rope is long enough!

Which boats blew over backwards? I raced 28's 0n and off from 92 - 2000 and don't recall one blowing over backwards. I've had a few roll over in front of me, but none blowing over backwards?
