Posts: 297 | Work on your righting technique, but consider a righting pole, esp if you are solo much of the time. Check the mast for leaks and *ALWAYS* uncleat the main, stand on the hulls, wait for the hulls to drift leeward of the top of the mast, then start your righting. Be patient...it takes awhile for the boat to respond!. (and the wind really helps in the procedure!) Practice!
I am 184 and have solo righted an F18 that is over 400lbs, so I think it is do-able if you are in shape!.
