Righting the boat is one thing, but getting back onto it is sometimes a challenge.

Getting all your sheets very loose and righting it head to wind sounds like a given but isn't always done. It's important to make sure the boat doesn't get off once it's up.

On the Falcon F16 when sailing 2up, I right the boat hanging of the righting line, while my girlfriend just helps a bit on the dolphin striker popping the mast up. Once it comes up she throws her leg over the lower hull and she's on, so only one in the water.

The Falcon also has quite some volume therefore some put a line like the one in the picture creating a step to get on.

That has always helped.
