I watched that again. Those guys have no business being on a boat.
  1. Watch the bald guys head as the boom swings over. It missed the top of his noggin by a hair (pun intended)
  2. Look at the jib sheets. What a mess.
Anyway. That made my day.

Totally agree, check out the hockle on the jib sheets. The helmsman has little focus either as he turns drastically into the accidental gibe while ducking. What an awesome wind powered catapult. The only safe dude is the bowman, I can only believe he has no idea how to douse the headsail. Surely some unpreparedness on board.
