Let me preface this by saying I don't have a lot of sailing experience and have never capsized a sailboat.
I can see that under the right conditions it might not be that bad. Other conditions I could see it being a really bad deal.
My wife is like 95 pounds and I'm about 180. I'm wondering if the two of us could get a 59 ds1 back up without help.
I got to thinking about what I would do if we were turtle with no help around and couldn't get the boat back up on our own.
Crazy idea time...I have a hinged mast on my boat, would it be possible to disconnect the forestay and tabernacle pin and pull the mast up to the boat so we aren't trying to overcome such a long lever? ( Think mast right before it is raised only upside down)
Don't know if the halyard or a topping lift could be used to pull the mast up tight to the boat and secure it to make self rescue easier or possible.
It's ok if you laugh, and tell me I'm an idiot... I'm used to it.
