Mike looks like me and you had very similar weekends. I have a TheMightyHobie18 that I have never capsized and have never capsized while skippering a boat but this weekend I have my first solo capsize.

I was making my first jibe in the first race of the day and truned a little to far and in 12-15kts there was no time to say I got it, I was over in no time. Went through the drill of uncleating everything snuffed the spin got my righting line and righting bag. I tried righting without the bag at first but no luck so I put just a few gallons in the righting back threw it over my shoulder and the boat poped right up very quickly. I grabbed the daulphin striker and the boat started sailing along dragging me so I waited for it to round up but it never happend and my righting line still hooked in my trap harness with righting bag (now sea anchor) attached to the end in tow. My first thought was to move to the lee side and flip the boat back on it's side but I decide I could get unhooked and get back on the boat. Hanging on with one arm and trying to unhook the line with the other was exhausting by the time I got it free I was whipped and could barely get back on board but when I did, sitting on the front beam I finally realized that my main sheet had flipped up over my boom and around my top main block a couple of times an I assume the drag from the righting back is what was keeping the boat from rounding up. I cought my breath will the boat continued to sail along on "cruise control" then unfouled the mess and went on my way.
