WOW those are some awesome captures!!!

But why would anybody DO that?

It's Ollie and Kelly Jason - and I don't think Kelly really meant to DO that!

Ollie says she landed back on the tramp.

I think it's amazing that the boat didn't pitchpole.

So Ollie, when are you going to cough up some bucks for a couple of footstraps for the lady?

Holy Crap! Now THAT is a trip around the forestay! Actually, it's a trip around the spinnaker luff too!

I DO THAT ALL THE TIME! Do you mean to tell me that that is not normal....

I added a video clip of her talking about it that afternoon. I had forgotten I had that. There is a link on that photo page now.

Matt, FANTASTIC! But someone better tell her that's not a good technique for dowsing the chute! Seriously though you all did a GREAT JOB with the coverage and web site! Thanks!
