Sometimes when you raise the sails, the battens get hung up on the lazy jacks. Sometimes they free themselves, sometimes, and you can drop the sail and try again. But sometimes, they have to be wiggled free manually, which is what Brent just did. Once they are free and clear of the lazy jack lines, we raise the sail again and the wind is now carrying our floating home to another island! Want the full adventure?

It is a fine line between fast and failure when sailing our Mumm 36. If you did not run into a few issues every once in in a while then you were not pushing hard enough. Over the years of sailing this great boat we head a couple of wipe outs going into Chinese Gybes almost took the head of the skipper in several planned gybe and lost a few sailors over the side without ever seeing a crew member go over board. This fast forward set of sailing fails reminds us to have fun while sailing while remembering that safety must come first. Luckily for the crew on Going to Red this set of fast forward sailing fails was all we could find over many seasons of racing, even better that the race wins out numbers the number of fails. Thanks for stopping by and watching bottom up boats fast forward fails from the Mumm 36 years.
