How long ago? Last october, almost 5 months ago and no sailing.. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />


Wind conditions. About 8-10m/s I guess.

How long to right? About 5 minutes I suppose, but did not start the stopwatch..

Pitchpoled when twin wire reaching from A to B on the Tornado. Fresh crew in his 50s who had not sailed a dinghy since youth. Crew was thrown clear of the boat but managed to swim and get hold of it. I managed to clear off behind the mainsail but ripped my left eardrum as I hit the water awkward. Once we were back on the boat we righted the boat just by pulling on the dolphin striker. Getting both back on the boat was the problem. Had to walk out on the bow to get some lift under the sails.
Crew loved the experience he said, but I have not heard from him since..
