need more info on that "righting triangle"...sounds interesting...not familiar with it.
Jake see the top picture here for a photo:

Speak of pulling free, how do ya'll right the boat with the spinnaker up in a race situation? I.e if you wipeout downwind I've seen guys get the boat back upright without stuffing the chute back in the tube. I've never managed to get upright without stuffing the chute back in the tube, a time consuming process.
You can use the slot on the front beam where the tramp's boltrope slides into, take a 5mm line and put a knot on the end so it
doesn't pop out of the slot when you are righting the boat (it takes a while to get it in though, I used some pliers to pull it through).
We dont capsize often, but being able to right it quickly is the difference of losing a few places instead of becoming DFL
Dont see how you could right with a wet spinnaker hanging from the mast, doesnt sound like a good idea either (imagine swimming after a boat with the spin still up LOL!)
