I wish I could get the video to work, but that still does tell the story, doesn't it?! It looks like you are being dragged down by the basebar.

I was flying alongside and nearby. I came out of a turn to see the top of Markus' sail vertical! Pointed straight down. I was startled. He regained control soon and pulled out of it. Good thing too, he was running out of sky.
