Title: BayRaider Capsize Tests
Post by: claus riepe on 10 Apr 2007, 20:02
These BayRaider capsize test videos on Youtube are legendary stuff, I have not ever seen a new boat design safety-tested so openly and aggressively.
Gee, when this guy has to climb up the mast to be able to capsize her at all, I could not help laughing, it looks so crazy.
Congrats on the results, it could not be more impressive.

Can't wait to get my own boat.

I couldn't agree more. I sailed the prototype Bayraider a few weeks ago (unballasted) and she is a lovely stable boat. Mine will be your sister boat and I am really looking forward to getting her and putting her through her paces. Everyone I talk to about her is intrigued and I suspect there will be a lot of interest once these boats start appearing on the water. I hope we get to sail together sometime.
