Thats not stuffing it in, this is stuffing it in! www.catsailor.com/forums/showflat.p...ew=&sb=5&o=&fpart=1&vc=1 And before you all ask, no it didn't tip over, it was actualy quite happy to continue along like this until I backed off. But if I had been on trapeze it would have been all over.

How often do I pitchpole, I could say never as we don't use that description, we call it a cartwheel. I believe I have only ever done a couple of proper ones. But if you count being thrown forward from trapeze in a capsize.

When practicing I probably do it every time it's over 15 kts. you don't know where the limit is until you reach it.

But racing is a different matter, maybe once a season.
