I just recently became the proud owner of a NACRA Inter F18.
Bit off a little more than I could chew yesterday in 20 knot winds and tipped her over.

Winds are generally high here and I expect to be sailing solo most of the time.

I couldn't get her back upright yesterday, using the line over the top hull. I'm 200 + full boots, wet survival suit

I need to get myself a better rig, does anyone know where i can get info on.

Design types of righting bags,their vol. etc
how does the righting pole work, is it used with the bag to increase leverage?.

Also was thinking of fabricating a small fiberglass "football" type bob for the mast tip, would the extra floatation be a positive considering the extra weight.

I read some good stuff on this wonderful forum, and plan on reading thru all the different topics over the winter

I'm a newbie so please excuse some of the silly questions,

thanks, Wilson
