Catching a Rail
It's the one that leads to an over the handle bars experience, why? What makes this happen even to experienced sailors and how can we see the signs before we have an expensive ejection on the water.
My observations.
Usually when over powered.
Things getting out of control. Speed and/or wind.
Heading down wind deep down wind.
Windward rail catches.
Sometimes a slow ejection when beach starting.
Gurus explain away.
