flipped my 14' weta tri yesterday while 2 sail reaching in the death zone

big blast sent the ama under

then the proder

then the bow

and over we went

with it's skinny, hollow, open mast it rolled straight over into a turtle

but popping an ama cover to flood it got the boat on it's side just like the video

was a little worried that the time taken would send it onto the rocks but when turtled there is very little windage and so very little drift
