>>By the way: Have you sailed the HC16 singlehanded?,- if so, what are the chances to raise it alone, with the help of a raising bag as this site sells?

I did actually right the H16 twice singlehanded (have sailed it singlehanded more often). Both times I was sailing with a women/girl (2 different persons) both weighting in at a heavy 50 kg's without much experience. Problem was I stuffed the boat in some strong winds and chop. Girls overboard and I'm thinking. "please don't turtle" . So i that that mast going and two eyes noticeable showing a change of mode. In situations like this you find some extra strength and will somewhere as a guy. Got it up both times but I never want to do that again. Had muscle ache for days after that as I was hanging and slowly slowly climbing the line as the boat, ever so gentle, pointed her mast to the air. I was dumb. should have gone out both times are brough righting aids.

Have never tried righting aids.

Up till now my shear fanatisme have safed the day a few times.

I'm 1.85 / 85 kg.
