This is the sail we hope to never use. Ever. But like so many other safety measures, it gives us peace of mind just knowing it’s there. It’s a storm jib — 🧡bright orange🧡 so that if we ever do need it, visibility won’t be a problem (because that’s definitely a moment we’ll want to be seen). It’s designed to be set over our furling system where the genoa normally lives, so we don’t have to wrestle down a huge sail on deck in the middle of a storm. Just roll out the storm jib, and it’s ready ⛵️ No, we hadn’t seen one like it before either. But it makes a whole lot of sense now. Have you seen one like this before?
Regardless if you call it a Chinese Gybe, Death Roll or Uncontrolled Gybe they can happen in a heart beat. One second you are cruising along and the next you are lying flat in the water with little or no ability to do anything about it. This Chinese Gybe was over in an instant, cost us the race, in reflection it taught us a lot about preventing it from happening again and how to recover better if it does happen again. For full analysis of what went wrong and how to avoid your own Chinese Gybe while you are sailing you can watch the full video with commentary linked below. https://youtu.be/il1aE1-3k8o This is Bottom UP Boats first Haiku that we made for sharing on Reddit, we hoped you liked it even though it is short and sweet.
