I've been sailing on a lake in a dinghy and a wind shift caused the boom to knock me out of the boat, it was a terrible feeling.
Lots of boats you have a safety line to keep you attached, but the problem is that people tend not to use them.
- SnowHill9902 4y agoSo what did you do? Evidently you didn’t drown.
- mynameisvlad 4y agoThey were sailing so the dinghy presumably didn’t promptly drive away like in this story.
- newsclues 4y agoThe main sheet (rope controlling the sail) was cleated and it didn't just keep sailing along.
- malandrew 4y agoMost sailing dinghys should have weather helm and will turn up into the wind, causing the boat to end up in irons (mainsail luffing and depowered)
- newsclues 4y agoI tried to swim after it, but power boat got me and took me back to my boat. At a summer camp with sailing and instructors in powerboats for safety.
