Reply to: Recent adventure/righting opportunity

[quote=pbegle]Had a similar adventure recently. Usually sail the P-18, but no crew this day so took out the P-16 solo. Sailing good for 30 minutes til a gust took me over. By the time I got the righting line over hull, hull orientated correctly & boat popped up instantly with my 142 lbs. Getting aboard was a little harder but I grabbed trap wire handle & pulled aboard. Moment later over again. This time I came up over front crossbar, but couldn't pull aboard--nothing to grab to lift weight on board. This experience has lead me to work on systems to get over the front crossbar. The 2nd or third capsize can be exhausting and Dave is right: practice hard ahead of time. Pete[/quote]
