No one here remembers "Jungle Jibe"? AKA "Doing the Tarzan"- same as Peter Pan.

We were on the H16 enjoying the strong breeze from a coming storm front and as we began to round the weather mark we were hit by a massive downburst. The water went flat on a perfect circle all around us and the boat first flew the windward hull followed by the rest of the boat. We had just trimmed for a reach to B mark. The leeward bow touched down first and I could not hold on to the Hawaiian lifeline. I performed a perfect Jungle Jibe and met the leeward sidestay moments before the mast hit the water. It all happened incredibly fast.
