Check out this photo slide show from a capsizing under the GG bridge this weekend. Scary!

From http://www.yachtracing.com/
"Here's the details. A Santana 22' sailboat, "Yachtsea", with two aboard, made a few huge errors as it came under the GG bridge. It tried to sail between the South Tower and the Point, right into the lineup, at the end of low tide, in a big breeze, and big waves. Worse yet, according to a statement one of the sailors made after the rescue, they were trying to surf the waves. Not a good idea under the circumstances. As these and the linked photos show it didn't quite work out as planned. The stern was caught in a following breaking wave, the bow took a dive, and the boat tripped over the keel. The boat rolled twice, breaking the mast. End of boat..."

A great lesson for SF Bay sailers.
