Now that's what I call A pitch pole. Couldn't resist.

I'm gonna have to agree with Jake. I do digital imaging for a living and can usually spot a fake. I think the angles are right, the port hull looks bigger but that's just the slight difference in perspective due to the beam width. And with a fake you can usually spot some aliasing around the placed image. Also I've done pretty much the same thing on a hobie 20 second day of steeplechase '03 with 18 - 20 knts of wind (I know 'cause when the crew and I walked in knee deep water back to the boat, the bows had never touched bottom but that starboard daggerboard sure had!) so If a 400 lb boat can do it so can a 165 lb'er.

That's Forbes flying through the air. He came out of it ok but Bundy struck something on the way down and injured his arm..... Just before heading to Europe to start the season there. Took quiet a bit of physio before he started.

I/we did something similar in SFBay in middle 70's on a Sailcraft of Canada T w single trap-no spin. No pics but two witnesses stated we were airborn. My crew landed out side the boat and I landed under the tramp and watched the boat turtle from the water. Dull story I'm still here...
