Do not try this at home. (...at least not with a Catalina.)

Stunning that they were able to bury the nose pretty much to the cockpit and sail away once she came onto her lines.

That is fantastic they seemed shorthanded as well ! It seemed the video boat was struggling to keep up!

I don't think the water got all the way to the cockpit... either from forward, or when she laid over. Either way that is ONE TOUGH BOAT!

Some of these spinnaker runs on this ULDBs... are impressive.

I couldn't quit laughing at the "Don't try this at home comment".. I can only imagine the faces should someone suggest we pop the spin in conditions like this.
