Rolf,

In this situation there are a number of options.

1, Don't get there in the first place, spot the "killer wave" and sail around it (as no spi this should be possible

2, If you really are stuck there, there are (IMO) a few options

a, Sheet in main really hard and stall out and try and survive, but ready to dump it all again if you change heading at all

b, Crew on the wire and stand on the back beam between the rudders

c, Head up and try and sail out of it, crew on the wire.


3, Jump off the back of the boat and watch it happen from a safe distance. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

4, make a note to buy T-foils......
