WARNING
If the boat has capsized “on top” of you, or “to windward” as it is
known, there is more chance of the boat inverting and you should
ensure that you and your crew are well clear as the boat fully inverts.
If are sailing with a crew, he or she should float in between the cockpit and the
boom, awaiting instructions from the helm. Then you should proceed round to
the transom where the righting line is stowed. Unclip the “high side” righting
line, and keep hold of it as you proceed around the rudder to the centreboard
area. If the boat has inverted the righting line is easier to locate.
If the boat has inverted:
The righting line will help you climb onto the hull if it is inverted, it being best to
use the line across the hull. Stand on the underneath of the gunwhale (now
facing upwards), adjacent to the centreboard, where there is a grippy surface
for feet or knees. Pull on the righting line from across the upturned hull and as
the boat starts to come back up try to work your way up the hull and onto the
centreboard, as it comes horizontal. Do not worry if you are unable to do so.
If the boat is on its side:
Hold the righting line as high up as you can, and brace your feet against the
hull, and pull. The boat will start to come upright, and as it does work your
hands up the righting line towards the gunwhale.
WARNING
If the mast is lying into the wind as you pull it up the boat will flip up
quickly and you should be aware to work your way up the righting line to
the gunwhale a bit quicker.
