The F17 rights easily solo. I should know since it was my first spin boat. I flipped the thing more than my other 3 boats combined. You just have to stand on the daggerboard. Make sure you always have all the daggerboard gaskets in place or else the board will slide back into the well when you stand on it. Also, I never broke a board while standing on one. They bend but don't break.

Also, don't forget about the jib option. It makes an excellent distance boat with that jib on.... especially in light air solo. But, the competition may complain some
