Sounds like you should have been able to right it, but should have, could have, would have, right?
<br> Try the righting bar advertised here and elsewhere. I've never used it, but the concept is easy enough. tucks under tramp, light, and really increases the leverage.
<br> There's other ways such as water bags lifted via blocks, etc.
<br> I thought that the bows 45deg. into the wind was the ideal way to right.
<br> If other posts don't get you to the links of the righting bar(I think Rick White has it on the home page for catsailor), then let me know and I'll try to be more help.
<br> Have fun and good luck,
