Thanks guys the spin wasn't up and I tried to bear away and go dead down wind to save the capsize. If the spin was up I felt that the main would have been centered and the spin would have lifted the bows instead of the boat just tripping. It looks like I should have let the main off and rounded up instead of trying to bear away as I would have with the spin. Very important that this doesn't happen too often, she's already speaking whistfully about the 5.8
