I thought you put the garbage bag in your lap, not over your shoulder. I've never tried it but I've got enough beer gut to compensate. Only once in light air did I have trouble righting an F16, it was Robi's boat and it was my first time sailing it Uni, trapping downwind when the puff got me. I bore off, burried the hulls to the mast and ate it big time, then could only get the mast just out of the water, not enough wind to get under the sail to help right it.
