Someone even posted an advertisement selling the device. I think today it could be automatic because they have the life vests that open on contact with water. Here is a thought...... IF the top of the mast had a foil as Mike Catley proposed and IF the ends of the foil had this inflation device would it not be able to lift the entire mast out of the water and get it to that critical spot where the boat is tipped enough to make righting that much easier?????? What I mean to say is that the wind would be able to affect the lifting of the sails and the hulls would be tipped to at least perpendicular to the water surface so in theory wouldn't that make the craft VERY easy to right? Would that not be another selling point??
