You now need to drop the mast off, and use its weight to assist righting, by
helping the hull to rotate in the direction desired. This is done by hanging it from
a line passing over the leeward float, and attached to the windward float.
If in sheltered waters, damage to mast can be minimized by pulling back to the
trailering position. However, outside assistance will probably then be needed to
rotate the boat.
8. Release the forestay, attach a line, and take to the center of the leeward float.
Run the line over the center hull to attach to the windward float deck eye just in
front of the deck hatch.
(Last option righting method.)
9. Release all halyards from the rope clutches, and unthread from the turning
blocks.
10. Release mainsheet from traveler, the jib sheets, jib tack, inner forestay (if fitted),
and any remaining shrouds.
The mast will now drop, or hang from the step pivot pins with fixed masts, which
will soon break from the motion of the deck pivot brackets from inside. Mast will
now hang from the leeward float.
11. Open all hatches on the leeward float, and stand on the float, stabilizing yourself
with the righting ropes, to the windward side. The float will slowly start to flood.
If necessary small holes may be required on the highest part of the float side to
let out trapped air, or a simple vent tube from this area to the atmosphere will
allow the air out.
12. As the float floods, start rocking back and forth in time with the waves. Once the
float is flooded sufficiently, the boat should roll upright. It’s possible to climb
around the boat as it rotates to end up on deck. The beam retaining pins will fall
out and floats will tend to unfold themselves.
Now tighten the beam bolts, and start bailing. A long tubular type bilge pump is
needed to do this successfully. You may initially need to wrap a rag or towel
