Next time hopefully have the boards up I'm sure that would have helped.

We were lucky a friend of ours jumped in. He's in the vid towards the end. He assisted getting the sails down so we could tow it back upright. I would hate to have to tow it back on it's side. Doubt it would make it.

Thanks.


Towing it on it's side with the sails up can turn out badly...just ask Mr. Undecided up there! The boat could right itself and start chasing the tow boat. This one rammed it.

Reminiscing about that repair job makes me o-so-glad that my garage is almost finished!
