Yeah, you feel like torn into pieces when that happens and then run over by a truck.@Celsus I'm imagining screwing a gybe up with that foil and the hi speed catapult it would create!
They weren't like that in my day![]()
I am the 'all or nothing' kind of guy, so tend to still be in my trapeze when that catapult happens...
Now I noticed that you also sailed in trapeze, so ehhh.
The worst kind of catapult I still think we experience from time to time is the one when you are sat comfortable in your trapeze, standing legs stretched out on the catamaran hull. You are going fast, planning, life is beautiful! And then a wave makes you take off just slightly. Your catamaran nose dives front first into the next wave front. Stops abruptly, flips forward. Trapeze line sling-shoots both you and your partner fast forward ahead of the boat. The pull in your harness is wild. Thought I was going to die first time that happened to me.
