If a man is to be obsessed by something.... I suppose a boat is as good as anything... perhaps a bit better than most.

Palm Beach County | Depends on the wind. But good point I usually have ahold of main sheet. I never lost a boat that way.....but go to "Don't Ask Me How I Know" I did lose a boat once of off Captiva Island with two ladies on it. I was able to catch it for very good reasons. They were buying drinks for the captain.

South Carolina | Still trying to figure how to right a tri. With outside help you right them by pulling the front over the rear, aka front to back instead of side to side with a "normal" boat. The rear usually have less buoyancy than the front, especially if the amas are not going all the way back. You need a safety boat with a big engine and quick reactions to keep everything inline while pulling. Without outside help on a small tri you flood an amas, so it sinks but keep some buoyancy, right the boat side to side so it is right way up but with a partially sunk amas, and then empty the water by sailing as quick as possible. Works on a Weta, a 14' tri, not sure if it is really applicable to something 20' long. I think righting it nose over stern has a lot do with the sails (assuming that the rig is intact). If the boat is inverted and you tow it forward, the boat will just move forward in the water. If you tow it backwards, the sails will have a lot of traction in the water and help the boat rotate. On the scale we're talking about here, however, I think having some permanent buoyancy in the rig, sinking, and refloating an ama would be more achievable and less violent to the boat in this case.
