Hey Guys,
Took my prindle 19 out, around the cocoa beach area yesterday (Sunday). Went out in the morning, pretty calm winds 5-10, boat did fine, noticed the boat seemed to have a lot of weather helm to it, but it may have been that the ruddered had a hard time staying down. I went out a little later when the winds picked up and not too far off the beach the hull lifted and the boat capsized. I had a really hard time getting it back up with two people (360 lbs) total. I tried to get it pointed into the wind but the current started to sweep me into rock so i brought it to a beach and got it righted. We rode back in under jib only and the weather helm was almost unmanagable. Could this have been due to just having the jib up? I bought the murrays big bag with the block and tackle so that I won't have to worry about righting it again I hope.
