[quote=yurdle]It likely won't get worse than that inland. Your leak could be anywhere on the hull, lots of them take in more water when turtled. I'd check the dagger well, though, those are pretty common culprits.
Instead of swimming the mast, just stand on the bows. The extra drag from your weight will force the rest of the boat to trail and the bows will end up pointed into the wind. Tri-athlete or not, all of that swimming will really wear you out, and you never know what else is in store, so it's good to keep your strength.
What do you use to hold the daggers in place?
Be wary of people offering help -- you need to instruct them as to exactly what you want them to do. It's easy to be relieved to have help and assume that the helpers know what they're doing, but that's rarely the case. You can end up with a destroyed boat, or worse, if you're not somewhat diligent.[/quote]
