I climb on the windward side as well, although with today's tall hull designs, I'm wondering if I should toss the righting line back over the front beam and climb up the front?

Okay Jay, now I understand: you toss the righting line with loop across the other hull after capsizing.

Let me think this over for my situation. I have a rather high hull design, so I wonder if this work in my case.
Maybe because its very steep on the outside (asymmetric hull) and then maybe have something for my knee instead of feet??

I now have a wooden stick (infact two, one for each side) with on both ends a line of about 3 feet fixed to the frontbeam. So, sort of primitive ropeladder. The trick is that there is a third line attached to the middle of that stick going forward to the bridle. This will keep the stick exactly down under the frontbeam when stepping on it with both feets (line in between).

I have to admit, haven't test it yet under heavy circumstances.
