Yep, that was David (Dad). It was one of his first outings on his boat and he had the angle of the mainsheet cleat such that it was difficult to uncleat. Sure enough he got hit by a bullet and over he went. It seemed to be in super slow motion as I sailed past him. Anyway he got it back up again and continued the race.

Good video Geoff, it’s funny how the camera always seems to halve the apparent wind strength and wave size. It was actually pretty darn windy at times!
