Gilo, that picture you asked about was from the Global Challenge regatta at Zandvoort last summer, I think it's Matt testing the wing mast for strength... <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

No, the guys on the boat are Martien and Frank and they made a sport of being photographed like that. They certainly do have the best series pics of any time, they are every sport camera mans dream !

You see what happens to the top of the mast if you ease off the mainsheet and then stuff it! Yeoch! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

Hi,

I can speak Hungarian... a bit.

I tried to translate to English:

You should tell me the end of the story. How about the mast?

In fact, they didn't break their mast. No F16 had mast failures during the 2007 Global Challenge. One Blade was dismasted but that was due to loss of a rigging pin - but all was OK.

John is right.
I'll attach the sequence of photos.
Check the houses in the background .
