[quote=southstars2012]Thanks Bacho, Hullflyer, Kbcatman & Samc99 - all very helpful advice.
So it sounds like the righting advice summary is:
(1) Release downhaul (not just sheets/traveler) to help point head to wind - I'm guessing weight movement like we did to sink the bows and create a pivot point helps too
(2) Get one person back on ASAP (particularly over the front beam using the dolphin stricker strap as the boat rights itself) to help post-capsize control - we did this, but can do it faster.
(3) Have straps or other means to hold onto boat under tramp - we're changing our righting line to a Hawaiian under-tramp setup so that should help, otherwise we'll add more straps. I also found that finding something to grip on the outside of the hulls was difficult - adding fore-aft chicken line like I see in Tybee 500 pics should help with this, otherwise I like the idea of a lower handle on the trap line (though our setup doesn't have a can't miss ring style).
