I remember it because although we broached and dunked the rail several
times that day, one particular time the boat went down hard with at
least 2/3 of the main in the water, the mainsheet slack, the boat being
dragged sideways at maybe 6 or 10 knots making a roaring foamy wake at
both ends. Crew on the high side were hanging from the lifelines, crew
on the lee side were under water. Water was pouring into the cabin and I
was thinking, "well, I hope we don't sink, but if we do, at least it's
not my boat."

Good thought. Actually, I intended to exclude racing, since it's a lot
more common then.
