My experience with the Etchells has been when it starts to get unstable before a broach, that bringing in the main, not a huge amount but enough to keep 'heeling' pressure on it so that it won't sky, helps a lot. Doesn't prevent it absolutely but when you start to go into the death roll, it will snap it back straight up....in many cases. Nice to see an Etchells on plane! There are people who think that only asymmetric sugar scoop type designs will do that. My Sonar jumps up on a plane and practically gives you whiplash when it does so....fun
They did. Well actually they Chinese gybed followed by a broach. The kite flogging was 90° to starboard. Hard to say but they probably had a bit of a windshift and the helm didn't correct in time to keep the boat under the spinnaker
Hey, Ive done this plenty of times. You did a great job not shrimping and ripping the kite. Way to keep a cool head and get that kite back on board.!!!
Hey sailor can you describe what happened and why to a non sailor person. It looked like you were flying great then the boat turned over. But I don’t see why.
hello sir, first i am not an expert and i would be happy to be proved totally wrong :) but this is what i understand, this look like a broach which mean the boat being overpowered, the spinnaker (big red sail) is good to go dead end to the wind but you can see it take a bit of side wind, as this sail is ulra powerful it push the boat sideway, might be cause by windshift

dam that music is painful
Warning watch with sound off
Spinnakers are invariably fun
wow you guys were FLYING! Amazing vid, nice work getting the spinnaker back in one piece...shame about that 'music' though ;)
Sorry for the confusion between J80 and Etchells 22 and thank you to Sean for mentioning the error.
Another point is the class dropped the name E22 in the 90ies and is now just called an Etchells.
I was wondering why that guy had decided to have a little lie down in the middle of pulling up a sail.
I get your joke.
Sorry if I am wrong but isn't a broach when the boat screws up to winward. This shows the boat just capsizing.

yeah those are always fun
did you blow the halyard? if so I would think that would be the wrong call, get the kite to the boat then blow the halyard, correct me if I'm wrong.
way that mjusikk??
yeah your music is bad but what a great sailing vid. Repost it with some decent music and its good
this was me. as in the gopro was on my head. :/

Nice recovery but don't do that music thing next time :D
Umm, this is not a J80. It's an Etchells 22. Funny though.

I like the music. Frenetic, it is, like the video. Uncut, too, I believe. My favorite sailing vid of the day!
Hm Jib was fine till you ripped it in a hurricane ,nothing Chinese about it ,you fucked up ,but still a great video though!
Ditch the stupid music and turn up the real sounds. And tighten that goddam vang lol
Music sux rox
great video but HORRIBLE music! Originalsound would have been marvelous. Such a great class of boat.
Horrible music for this video....

Bunch of amateurs! Not unlike the music selection!
Worst music ever
