Well, gee thanks, Jake. Not that I needed any actual photos of the nightmare I will try to avoid in the Gulf. Just teasin'. That picture hurts.

First, a diver may have to go below to cut the rigging loose to save the mast and sails and/or they can flood one ama to help bring it back to a capsize position and wrestle it over from there. After the mast is cut they can tow it turtled. Oohh! All those neat electronics now soggy.

The wing on the rudder adjusts the boat's bow attitude and is necessary to keep the boat from literally flying out of the water. Desjoyneaux on Geant has winglets on his rudder as well as a curved foil in each ama. Once the winglet breaks the surface the only way to control is with the sheets. It must be a hoot to know that you are sailing a boat that takes as much skill to keep it on the water as it does to keep it flying above it. It's a completely different sensation from coming off a wave and flying over a trough. It's a whole 'nuther dimension.
