On righting a H16 my son (7 years old) would stand on the lower hull just in front of the main beam and when the boat would come back over, he would step up onto the trampoline. I suppose, theoretically, he could make it through the whole capsize without getting wet (I did this once on an Apollo 16). It was the middle of August so the whole reason we were sideways in the water was to take a break from the heat. I would never purposefully capsize my Nacra 5.2, mainly because I am afraid of breaking something, but also because I don't think my mast is sealed very well. I agree with Gree that capsizing and sailing in extreme conditions is much more enjoyable on someone else's boat.
