I was on a big boat at this Davis Island Thursday night race and saw this blue cat drifting capsized when we were in the last start. The wind was about 8, and he was 1/4 mile downwind from the RC, trying and obviously failing to right himself: the situation with this cat did not appear to be dangerous. No signaling/waving/indication of distress by the skipper was apparent. It appeared that the RC could and would assume the rescue momentarily, if necessary. He did. (I have done this NUMEROUS times as RC, when the chase boat was occupied, missing or broken.) The RC could have requested any one of several racers to assist, including us.

BTW- It is critical that every cat sailor SEALS HIS OR HER MAST with a $5 tube of silicone before sailing or racing. Tell your novice friends, and careless racers, please. We used to have sailing clinics and boat inspection every spring, back in the day.
Skippers Meeting? I don't know if the club has one on Thursday nights. Maybe they should.
