Bill, it seems that at least someone has the right avice when it comes to "righting" any cat. If you refer back to my earlier posting you will see that we agree entirely in the principles of "righting a catamaran". The only basic difference between your way and mine is in the "size" of the cat and that you used a "parachute" to put the bows "head to wind" instead of using your body weight (as for a smaller cat) then basically use the wind that "ditched' you to right you.
I can only say that I am rather pleased that I "learnt" my caramaran sailing in Australia where this technique of "safety" for righting a cat has been taught to most sailors when they first start to sail cats since at least the early 70's. It has saved an awful lot of lives as well as unnecessary damage to cats.
