eeeeeuup. that just about exactly describes the situation. And I thought I had put us into a safe reach that would allow me to not pay attention for a second. Heh, Just wait until I tell my passengers we went into a death roll. They'll really want to get on a boat again after that! <chuckle!>

I had a little knockdown event this past weekend with some first time sailors and I fear I scared them away from sailing for a while... :( The odd thing about it was that we were traveling down wind with the main at 60deg to starboard and we tipped over to port! I'm thinking it was something to do with weight distribution (it didn't help that I was putting on my shirt at that moment and couldn't see what happened...).
