Hi. I sail on the south coast of the UK. I have just got an Inter 17(with jib / no chute). Love her, but went over today (in the harbour!) & couldn't right her alone. I weigh about 165lbs / 73kilo's. So, do I need to practice more or should I get a righting device? If your interested, she's carbon hull & foils, but with Ali mast. Bought her from guy who brought her to UK from Singapore (Australia built). Can beat pants off Spitfire upwind -I'm loathed to take on crew as it's so much faster solo!
