Adam: I belive you! Before sailing SF Bay I sailed the Med -- and I 
remember a similar experience -- off Cannes on the French Riviera the 
wind went from 5 to 25 knots within seconds -- the spinnaker virtually 
exploded -- which saved us from a slam down --  and gave us later a 
reason to get a new sail -- the exploded one was beyond repair.
