We've stiffed the F18, so hard that I flew around the forestay, landed on the leeward hull, unclipped from the trap, scooted across the tramp, re-clipped in, sheeted in, and kept going...
Rofl, I've done the same sailing the 5.2 solo. Going around the top mark, from upwind to downwind mode on the same tack I stuffed both bows in a gust, flew around the forestay, took a swim under the bridles and landed (hard) on the front beam. I unclipped, rolled under the boom, reclipped on the crew trap handle and continued on... To this day I still wonder how I recovered from that one.
