mea culpa for my tightwad post..hope I can still post here,

My teen age daughter & I went out in 18 - 20 with a chase boat following us..stuffed the leeward bow hard on a port tack..stood straight up & popped back up but we were all off balance..then we got blown over..I landed in the sail but she hit the mast with the side of her head..got her on the chase boat and shes all right we're getting helmets for the windy rides..dont know if I'll get her back out in anything over 10 mph..ps I had trouble getting back on after righting..little tired..anyone use handgrabs or rope ladder tied to front beam to assist?
