Hi Todd,

Thanks for your comment, but I'm quite familiar with your described procedure. Problem is it doesn't work so well on a 15 footer. With such short hulls you cannot hardly go towards the bow, because that will turn the whole cat over.

Don't forget when I capsize its always in waves condition, so things are anyway difficult to control. Pushing the bow under water in this conditions can have dramatic effects.

Besides the self orienting effect of the cat is for the greater part caused by the sail-effect of the tramp and is not present when using a nettramp.

The procedure which I described, I used already for twenty years and in that days I was able to upright my cat in breaking waves in less then a minute.

As said before, that I will never manage these days anymore. Grrrr.
