A bit of a wild ride, I’d say, but I think they had fun getting it back up…

Gavin Atkin's weblog for the sort of people who like looking inside boat sheds. It's about old boats, traditional boats, boat building, restoration, the sea and the North Kent Coast
You were wondering what it was like to swamp and recover a boat, well, I had always wanted to practice the recovery so I made a video of it. some parts went well, some were surprising. I know now what I will do if this ever happens again. Notice of course the weather was nothing like the conditions where a swamp would occur. I have more videos on my youtube account where you found the 2014 Nationals video. Thanks for reposting that and check out 110class.com
Ha! I’ve long fancied trying sailing a 110 – such a remarkable boat. I don’t think I’d want to capsize one though!
