Watch what happens when a gust hits this Farr 40 and the spinnker sheet is eased. 'All hell breaks loose' says crewman (and videographer) Morgan Miller.
When the wind is fresh and the boat is loaded, keeping the kite over the keel can be lost in an instant. You can follow along this video as the crew enjoys the thrill of a good boat on a good day, or you can scroll forward to the moment of impact. At 3:25 minutes in the video, it’s suggested to get the kite down. Moments later, it proves to be a good suggestion.
