Yes indeed. It was at last year Performance Week at Traverse City. It was the day it blew, real hard. I'm used to big winds, it was no surprise to me. Problem is I capsized for the second time EVER on my 17, flew through the second UPPER mainsail panel, and the boat drifted past me

Martin, on his Twister, picked me up and drove me back to my drifting Cat . I jumped, held on and righted it.

So now, I wear one of those Kayak safety line. I only attach myself ONCE capsized, while doing mechanics in the front (read spinnaker mess's). It is ready on my right hip, and can unlock the safety harness with one tug on a fast release.
