Old video, I know, but man! Except for one, these are some lame-ass comments. How about a little recognition for the fact that she: 1- kept the boat upright! 2 - stayed in it! and 3 - calmly re-rigged it sailed on! I’d have been 0 for 3 on that list!!!
I think you'd better try to make the boat more flat. When the boat start to get excessive hill momentum, loosen the mainsheet or push tiller a little.Seemingly traveller sheet is too long and hiking strap is too loosened.It's all just my personal opinion.
bowlines can come of very easy with sheet rope. its easy not to tighten it properly. i did it in 20 knt winds on a plane in a 420 strait in didn't even know it was happening
Well, to be more accurate, that was not an "RS Aero mainsheet fail." That was someone's knot failing, and, secondly, this was the crew failing to check the rigging before sailing.
Re-threading the main sheet on the water is not an easy job! Well done.

Main sheet win

Also try not to satnd up in taking
What knot was that? I usually do a figure eight before the first block.
capecodsurfer originally it was a bowline. struggled to do another single handed on the water so resorted to a figure of eight. seemed to be fine!
