On Wednesday, June 8th, 2011 as the sailboat fleets made their way in from the evening races, they were glad to beat the thunderstorm that was coming in from the west. Just at dusk eye witnesses saw a lightning bolt hit a 30 ft ketch swinging on a mooring in McKinley harbor, downtown Milwaukee. " It lit up like a Christmas tree" was how one observer described the event. Within an hour the boat was under water with just portions of the masts showing. www.forespar.com #Forespar #products #sailing #whisker #pole #whiskerpole #downwind #ocean #sea #docking #power #powerboating #powerboat #sailingboat #tutorial #boating #newport #california Visit Our Website! www.forespar.com Follow us on our social media: https://www.instagram.com/foresparproducts/ https://twitter.com/ForesparSailing

The Figure 8 is one of the greatest knots of all. This is the figure 8 stoppper knot, used to prevent line from slipping through grommets, pulleys and the like. It's used in sailing, boating, climbing and ton of other applications. This is also the first part of a proper figure 8 knot for climbing. While not the most practical way to tie this knot, it looks kinda cool. Watch and you, too, can tie a figure 8 knot in 2 seconds! #knots #sailing #climbing Music by Nik Piscitello @neverbelukewarm on Insta

⛵🌊⚡ "One wave — one moment — and everything changed!" In the middle of a high-speed regatta, a giant wave hits, the boat capsizes, and the crew is thrown into the sea. In that slow-motion moment, you could feel the courage, the risk, and the raw power of nature. #SailingCrash #OceanFury #CapsizeMoment #RegattaRush #SeaDrama #StormSailing #BraveTheWaves #RealSailingLife
