Hi Josh,
A few years ago I learned another way to right a beach cat by yourself. This is how I right the RC30.
Put a drag chute in the water off the bow. This will turn the boat hulls parallel to the wind. Then go to the stern and sheet the main in firm and put max slack in the traveller control line. Push/stand on the traveller car/mainsheet and push the car and leech of the mainsail down to the water. The mainsail will inflate and the lift generated by the mainsail will right the boat. The boat will continue to hang on the drag/drough chute until you are ready to sail again and have retreived the chute. It's easy.

Now this sound interesting - I find my 17 a struggle when I tip it in.
Once the mast starts to lift I assume at somepoint you need to go from standing on the mainsheet block / traveller to onto the tramp (to get out of the way of the main boom as it come up and then dump the main sheet....Could you take me (and I assume others) thru' this step by step....
