I agree with Karl, and from Matt's original post

The third race on Saturday saw some real carnage on the course as the wind increased to 25 plus with many capsizes and damage including a broken mast on the C2 of Ian Sammis taking him out of the racing. Greg and Jacques nearly flipped as Jacques was pitched out ahead of their boat and he was run over... they were able to recover, drop the chute and get moving again for the only 2nd place finish of their series. Only 4 boats finished that race.

Sunday saw more of the same


I'm pretty sure if I had pitched sweetness to the front of the boat and then run her over, my day and probably my season would be done, then there would be the couples therapy to look forward to.

When things start to get sporty things break and the attrition rate shoots up, and let's face it a lot of us aren't kids anymore ( as much as I hate to admit it )
