wind was 20-25, with gusts up to 35.
I would have to say the sea was at least a 2 to 3 foot
The main sheet was not cleated I was holding it; however I was using the ratchet setting on the block
I was on a beam reach, So of course I was taking waves broadside, not the best point of sail but I was heading back to friendly shore. Because I was basically sitting on the stern, further aft than the rear cross beam, when I went over I was already almost behind the boat.
I checked the bob and mast later, the bob had no water in it, and the mast had marginal amounts. As for the tramp it's mesh, I am guessing the waves had a lot to do with forcing the mast under.
