I have sailed a friends H16 on a lake before and never capsized it because it wasn't my boat and didn't want to do anything that might get me in trouble, I was just pleasure cruising. Now that I live in PR I will be sailing solo in the ocean and wanting to go fast. I'm wondering what does one do if they capsize their cat and can't right it and there is nobody around to help. Drown? Coast Guard? Drift to the Domincan Republic?

What things should I carry onboard for safety from capsizes and drifting to DR?

Any other advice?
