Maybe a drill. Where if the boat goes over.
1 crew swims to end of mast and holds it up ????
2 skipper releases main and jib sheet
3 skipper pulls CB down haul and cleats it
4 skipper swims out to end of mast and helps crew swim mast around to point to wind
5 skipper swims back to CB
6 skipper climbs on CB and crew swims back to cockpit
7 skipper applies downward pressure to CB
8 mast comes out of water and wind gets under it and helps to blow it upward.
9 as boat comes up crew rolls into cockpit
10 skipper climes in and sheet in main and boat starts underway while crew bails water.
11. as boat is bailed out speed increases open the bailer and let the bailer pull water out.
This actually happened to me except my crew was my girlfriend at the time and she could not hold the mast up. I don't know if I could or not I have not had the chance to try again
but the water was not as deep as the mast was tall and it stuck in the mud. Mast was about 60 deg below water line. I was able to raise it due to swimming the boat around leeward of the mast with help from the wind. and drift pulled it out and everything else went as written. If the water had been deeper and the boat completely turtled . I don't know if I could have pulled it over with the CB or not. The unknown here is if a crew with adiquit strength could have held the mast or not with his PFD not going under. WE had not practices or discussed the possibilities of going over at the time we just played it by ear so if a crew discussed and knew just what to do it would have went a lot better. I do know that we sailed it back to the dock with stories of adventure on the high seas to tell.
