The spi must be retracted and stuffed before attempting to right the boat. Sometimes you can right it with the spi still set but most of the times it will totally prevent you from getting anywhere.



Next, if you trurtled and you have the standard AHPC mast THAN you probabky had water in the mastsection. The AHPC mast is not sealed and there are gapping whole at the hounds.



I found when sailing skiffs which use much the same hound system that these boat are rightable but they take a bit time to let the water run out of the mast.



Best then is too hook yourself to the righting line with your trapeze. Righting line must go over the hull to make hanging on it more comfortable. lift the mast just a little bit and wait for the water to run out. The boat will slowly lift more and more. VERY slowly depending on the water it has shed. Climb a little higher in the rope and get the rest of the water out and once it is out and you can feel that very well. continue with the righting technic. May take 30 to 40 secs to complete this whole sequence.



Better = sealed mast.



If this was not the case => turtle and standard AHPC mast then forget what I wrote.
