I made a new friend with a very cool boat. Chris Bateman invited me to come sail his International 14 Skiff in Cork Harbor. I'd never sailed on a skiff (let alone a twin-wire skiff) and never helmed from a trapeze. With something of a baptism of fire I got to do both - and tried very hard to capsize the boat. Could Chris save it?

Hey, fast is fun!

I think in general skiff boat are just biuld to be the fastes sailboats before foiling category, just massive sails and and more possdible trapeezes, that's what makes them crazy, I went with a 49er cuple of times and it feels like they are biuld just to go really fast without any type of safety mesurements, but that's what makes them funny 😂😂

Fix your slot gasket, it's robbing you of speed.

Bare feet in Ireland in Winter is brave!

@Wire2WireSailing 6 месяцев назад

This was filmed back in October, it wasn't quite as cold. I wouldn't be barefoot now!

Was it that he was pointing too low causing him to be underpowered which dumped him in the water? Maybe too much combined heel from the hiking for being low?

Short answer: yes, pretty much. I felt a little weather helm, so tried to bear away and went wayyy too far. It probably wasn't even the right response on watching it back, I think trim adjustments would have been better. Once I got swept off the rack it was game over, Chris just managed to leap into the boat and keep it upright.
