[quote=northsea junkie]One last detail: when uprighting after capsizing, you cannot wait anymore untill the windforce in the tramp turns you in the wind! So you have to swim to the top of the mast, lift it, and turn the cat in (and a little past)the wind. Go back quickly via the shroud and lift the cat.

NS Junkie,

I've watched your vid before, impressive build.

Do you realize that if you walk towards the bow with the boat on it's side (capsized), that the boat will orient itself to the wind? Perhaps it's different with a 'cheesecloth' tramp however. Give it a try nest time, swimming to the mast head, etc., sounds tiresome, and could be dangerous.
