[quote=MN3][quote]After capsize recovery what is your preferred (or easiest) method to reboard? [/quote] My "preferred method" would be something akin to a Pamela Anderson Bay Watch rescue ... in slow mo, or a helicopter assist (via rope ladder like in the movies) but my "go to method" is to get to the side, bob up for a trap handle, then throw a foot up the gunnel onto the deck get a second foot up there and skootch/worm my torso onboard - I now have wings with footstraps (and removed my trapwires) that will change everything - i hope to never learn how to deal with capsizing with that - but ... it's a pretty safe bet that day will come! If your on a P19 - your in a very similar hull shape and free-board situation to me i find trying a front beam re-entry difficult almost impossible if i am at all worn out from the righting experience i just had (esp with any wet gear on) . after a feb capsize in cold water with full gear on - i won't try that method again[/quote]
