I wasn't worried about it at all, my buddy and I were out flying a hull and I didn't unsheet soon enough when a gust came along and we.. just.. went.. over.

I've flipped a friend's boat several times a few weeks ago (deliberately) and it righted quite easily, but even with two people on my righting line, I couldn't even get my boat to *start* coming up again. Soon I was the focus of attention for every boat and jet-ski on the lake. Finally a helpful guy in a speedboat reached down and picked up the end of the mast and once he was holding it over his head the boat righted. Guess I'll lower the mast one of these days and check for possible sources of leaks to fill with silicone... Other thoughts? Comments / suggestions very welcome.


Warm regards, Jim
