What do you all mean by weathervaning the boat into the wind? I have always righted the boat with the mast into the wind so the wind helps on the tramp. The only exception to that is when alone, I get the mast about 45 deg. off the wind so I can travel out the jib and pull the jib sheet to trap wind and help lift the mast. That method came out of an old Hobie Hotline many years ago. I can usually stand on the down hull, shifting forward or aft, to get the boat to swing broadside to the wind. I've been doing it that way for 25 years.
