[quote=turtlecat]Yeah we had 370lbs of righting moment on that H16 yesterday...lol. I would have given a benjamin for that righting bag we left on the beach :)
Waves definitely complicate things - but I agree about growing into your boat. I remember trying to get that H14T recovered from a full on turtle...pretty tough solo the first couple of times...yeah I had that much practice :roll: and that was on a relatively calm lake days - and I was totally self taught aka trial and ERROR!
Insert my thanks to Rick White here
I remember my errors:
unsealed mast
no righting line
ohh..and uncleat the friggin sail
Hence the moniker of turtle cat - good thing my lake was DEEP :) On my learning curve, if I had started in the ocean - my name would probably be shark bait...HA! [/quote]
