The skipper on GTR is a little too casual going into a gybe resulting in a massive wipe out that nearly took his head off. While the wind is light, just below 10 knots, the boom on this Mumm 36 racing yacht still gets up too a fast speed with plenty of power as the boom moves from one side of the boat to the the other. The mistake made by the skipper was not getting setup correctly for the gybe. The running back stay was not correctly setup outside the boom prior to the Gybe. The skipper was too worried about fixing this, failed to do so, which result in in both the back stay and the main sheet getting wrapped around his neck which in turn picked him up and deposited him down to leeward after the gybe was completed. The skipper was OK after the wipe out, he regained his breath, the bruised ribs healed in time as did his pride.
