I have recently acquired a Prindle 18 and am fairly inexperienced in cat sailing (though I've sailed monohulls for 20 years and owned one oddball cat for a short time). I've not capsized the Prindle yet, but I expect I might sometime soon while experimenting with flying a hull (a new experience for me). Here's my question: Assuming I have enough crew on board to help with righting (since I always have someone along), is there any difference between any of the following setups to right the boat?

1) A righting line threaded through a grommet on the tramp near the forward crossbar and slung over the upward hull (which Prindle advises in the owner's manual)

2) A righting line tied around the base of the mast and slung over the upward hull (which would seem easier on the tramp)

3) A righting line looped around the upward hull itself near the forward crossbar

Would all of these work equally well, or not? From a physics perspective, I'm having trouble seeing any difference between the three in theory since the line comes over the upward hull in all cases--but I've been around long enough to know that "theory" doesn't always work out in real life!

Any experienced input would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Kevin
