[quote=Edchris177][quote=MN3][quote]I didn't realize until decades later that with the front tramp on, there would be no way to get back on the boat once we re-righted it.[/quote]
the g-cat sit low enough that you grab the sidestay and pull yourself up (or get a leg up)
I have a video of 2 of us getting back on a g-cat that way, i will look for it
[quote]Not even a dolphin striker to grab, so the boat might even sail away once upright.[/quote]
Def a concern on most cats - with our without a stirker - Grab that sheet like your life depended on it!!![/quote]
That is how I re-board 90% of the time. The Nacra 5.7 is fairly high at the front beam. By grabbing a side stay with both hands, it’s easy to put the inside leg up on the hull. Then simply “plank”, & rolls to the tramp. It also works if the cat is trying to sail itself. As long as you don’t let your arms get straightened out over your head, you can still “roll aboard “ in just a couple of seconds.<!-- editby --><em>Edited by Edchris177 on Jul 02, 2022 - 10:24 AM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
