@Sailing Uncovered that makes sense. Thank you for clearing that up.

The impact effectively forced some of the structural beams through the hull - something we didn't know yet when the video was made.

It is a law of the sea 🇮🇹

no problem 🇮🇹

Nobody cares. You wear you get COVID you don't you still get COVID. Live your life

It can adjust its two (ballasted) foils so that they pull the boat upright again.

I love wonderful communities.

very carefully

Perfect video...thank you so much..

@blindleader42 I mean same risk for everyone, but none had a similar incident.. They must have done something different..

@bergssprangare "Weather same for all." Not true at all. A gust is just another way of saying turbulence. In turbulence the "weather" is very different everywhere.

@james Day YOu're right , I'm just a suday sailor..But no other boat had even a similar handling..Weather same for all.

They got hit by a squall at a really bad moment and its not so easy to let go the sails in one of those boats. Not the helmsmans fault. It could just as easily be blamed on the person manning the hydrofoil he should have adjusted the flap angles to reduce the lift to stop them flying out of the water.

Finally, some footage of the rescue and salvage operations, where did you get access to all those shots

Adds too much unnecessary weight

Mega first world problem

@Kwader _ كوادر here is the thing. I would say is not possible to give an exact time because each person is different. I personally don't know how long I took because I was born into it, didn't really had a choice (not that I complain tho). Some of my family give classes and usually they have a few sessions (maybe 5 to 10 sometimes more) of 4-5 hours and seem to be able to learn and practice the basics but keep in mind they keep going out and practicing so they basically are learning with experience, but sometimes there is one or two people that even after an year of practicing seem to have an hard time. On the other hand, majority of those seem to have that problem on their own fault. Sometimes those that attend the classes seem to create a theory on their heads of how this works and ant really move on from that, which usually doesn't allow them to learn much. I would say sailing is more about sensitivity and feeling the vessel (instinct) than thinking about its theory, which might be good to know, but on the moment, things happen fast, so if you stop to think about what is happening and how to act that thing already happened when you finally make a decision. So what o want to reach with this is that, as long you are able to open yourself to learn, I would say it won't take much time, to learn the basics that is, perfect them is a matter o practice. When I went to optimists I had the advantage to have born in the environment but still had a lot to learn and practice but usually was a matter of go there, see what works and what not, the instructor would give some tips until we got it right. After a couple of sessions everyone was able to sail on their own, Still not perfect, still far from be on the best, but able to do the basic stuff. Sorry if I couldn't be more helpful, but has I said, I feel its hard to know as it depends.

@D G I'm trying to learn sailing how much time does it take to learn the basics of sailing a small dinghy may I ask?

true. tho my worst experience was being catapulted from an hobie cat.

Dumbest comment of 2021 so far. Congrats.
