Are you racing? If not a mast float may help, combined with the use of "power righting". I have one of Gary's older Solorights, and it doesn't involve any rivets or drilling. The lines simply clip around the upper crossbeams when you capsize, you place the pole in position in the centerboard slot, and holding your righting line, walk out the pole. I haven't tried it yet, but feel sure it should work. Check out his web site.
