[quote=Andinista][quote=keving]I am not sure I am relating to your problem...
My getaway has capsized several times, usually when the kids are sailing it. They are not heavy enough to right it, so I have to jump in. The things we do for the kids. Anyways, I think as the boat comes up I just keep hold of the righting line and have never had a problem with the boat going over again. The boat does sail forward a little while it is coming up, but since I am still holding on to the righting line, it is not really an issue. I do board the boat from the back as it is much lower than the bow.
Did your Getaway even come close to going over again after you pulled it up after your hand slipped from the crossbar? I suspect the weight and stability of the Getaway it enough to keep it from going over again while righting it.

Because of the front tramp i guess that the righting line goes under the hull when righting, right? Otherwise it wouldn’t be very practical to keep you connected to the boat, i believe. So if the boat doesn’t tend to tip over to the other side, yes, your technique solves the issue i think. It would just be important to be aware and unlearn the other technique if it’s the case.
Isn’t it time for another righting momentum above or below the hull discussion now? :lol: :lol:<!-- editby --><em>Edited by Andinista on Jul 31, 2021 - 06:16 AM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
