@@Apweng33 I was below deck at that moment. What isn't obvious just watching, the tack line stripped its cover and fed out about 10 foot of slack. That totally changes the dynamics of the recovery. The boat really wants to stay down because the sail doesn't collapse. Longest broach I've experienced in over 500 race starts.
What went overboard during the broach?
Some snacks and a hat.
@@yzScott Thanks - looked like a wallet but then I thought, that wouldn't be sitting there! Wild ride nonetheless!
