Otherwise, it may be good for large sail-persons to climb back onboard at the rear crossbar to avoid hook damage: Get your heel up on the hull, back of your arm over the rear crossbar to hold onto a hiking strap, then lever on board Belly Up. Try it- easy and quick. I had a bad shoulder then and it helped.


I started doing this after putting a few dings inside the hull at the front cross bar. It works well and you can keep the boat rounding up by grabbing the rudder arm as you climb aboard.
