Hi all,

I tipped Altered for the first time yesterday (went round the front with the kite up). I couldn't believe how easy it was to right. The boat didn't want to turn right over like the Mosquito did, even though I spent some time trying to get the spinnaker into the chute it stayed on its side.

Watch out though, they drift pretty quick in this position.

Even though I am some 90kg.(14stone) I would envisage much lighter people having no trouble, as I didn't even use the end of my righting rope.

Regards Gary.
