footage of Captain Calamity aka Glenn Crawley – crashing his now legendary catamaran boat ‘Mischief’ at Little Fistral, Newquay. Watch as he ends up drifting inside the breaking waves much to the bemusement of the surfers as the boat gets caught inside powerful surf. Waves soon begin to hit the boat. The first wave impacts so hard he is forced to dive for cover and the boat begins to break apart. RIP ‘mischief’. Glenn’s unique personal style of extreme sailing has always been controversial. He has at times been banned from Newquay Harbor. In 2007 he was involved in 4 RNLI coastguard rescues while in charge of Mischief in as many hours. The Newquay Harbor master in 2008 claimed Glen was “a bloody menace” and made Glen re-take his sailing exams. However on the 22nd Sept Mischief sailed (and kind of surfed..a bit) for the last time
