Idiots should have storm jib up and they'd have some control.

Fools are attempting to sail with main alone and cannot overcome
the weather helm with their silly little racing rudder and thin keel.

That's why one must sail off the wind and sail under
a small, balanced press of sail so one can maneuver
in such a way to avoid those breakers. They are not
mast height, btw. They are relatively small. Look
closely at the pictures. The really huge looking waves
are taken looking up from a transom when the bow
is in the trough . . .

Cappy, it's very very obvious that you've never seen anything anywhere
like these waves.
You might like to look at this pic Cappy.

Seas look calm, until you notice that the whole boat is being dragged
sideways by the wave that has just passed her....she's a 70footer!
