Weta Trimaran pitchpole & recovery shot on GoPro HD

www.wetamarine.com Chris Kitchen shows us his capsize technique! This demonstration capsize was staged in between races at the European Champs. Was 18-20 knots. Reaching high with the gennaker, I was sitting on the rail fairly far forward. I helmed up and dug the leeward float in and a bit of the bow then helmed down hard to get the boat to stand upright on its nose and held on. No assistance needed to right the boat, used the capsize recovery technique as per manual. Was ready to race again within 5 minutes. Shot on a GoPro HD HERO2 Camera http://gopro.com/
