    swept center board

    hi guys,
    That center board is swept back on the big tri. Reason is they vary the amount of board in the water. When it not all the way down it sticks up above the deck. Most designs have the center board infront of the mast strait or slanted aft. ( ON performance Tri's, cruising tri could careless) Can't fit it behind the mast because it would hit the boom.

    NIce pictures. I have to say, regarding the first pic, those guys are pretty sound minded (not crazy at all). Depending on the wind and other factors, I would have to say that what they were doing wasn't too dangerous (depending on their experience, boat, water/wind conditions). I've seen, and I bet others have (as I have), righted a small cat from a list (not so great as in the pic, but a large amount at that).

    There is extreme sailboat sailing and extreme weather sailing. "Only the brave" fight the elements, but in those conditions there is nobody else around to take pictures... :)
