knobblyoldjimbo Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 Thick and fast - didn't have time to stick around yesterday to ask. Poor Darcy was in the start boat yelling instructions but I was just too far to hear clearly. Boat went right over (they should mine that mud it must be good for something) and I did recover reasonably well. So, I got the recovery rope and stood on the gunnels (underside) until the mast was visible, I then got onto the lower hull and continued to pull. Where should my weight be? Right at the front? I'd uncleated the main (cause of the trip in the first place!) so once it came up it sat nicely and I got in at the front. What's the best/fastest recovery?

lachy pudney Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 The most important thing to do is to get the sail side of the boat facing the wind, you do this by standing at either the front or back of the boat and letting it spin. In regards to the best position to be I usually put my weigh a little bit behind the front beam so the boat is balanced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
