[Rhodes22-list] Knockdown

[Mary Lou Troy]

Hi Ben,
We've never come close though we've heeled violently enough for me to 
get thrown around the cockpit a bit.

There are a bunch of stories on the Rhodes FAQ site. I'm not sure if 
any of them mention a knockdown but there are some good storm stories.

David Dawson's account of waves filling his cockpit with water is 
pretty exciting:

And the entry under "Heavy Weather Sailing" has Ralph Bibbus' account 
of what sounds like a broach:

Also in the FAQ under "Capsizing" is Paul Cleavenger's classic 
account of his capsize:

Best,
Mary Lou
