What sort of f16 went over in this video? seems like a soft capsize, not that much wind and hardly any waves.

Just guessing, but from the color of the spin I would say it was a Taipan 4.9. I don't remember another boat with a spin that color.

You can see a pretty good gust just forming on the water behind it. What you can't see is the seawall and the wall of condos down wind. There was a nasty chop, with gusts hitting out of no where. Best guess for wind speed would be 15+.

They were just trying to wash the bird sh!t off the spinny I think. Either that or Seth was trying to give Stephan a much needed bath.
