| Post subject: | It happend |
After having my H 18 with sx wings for two summers now I flipped it, had my adult son and daughter trapped out off the wing and with gust to 35 mph we where having a blast when some how my daughter lost her balance and knocked her brother toward the front of the boat, we buried the bow so over we went. We have sailed H 16's for 30 years so we knew what to do but before we could get on the hull the boat went turtle on us, we got on the hull ,got the righting line out and it just didn't seem to be moving, of course it was almost dark and the lake was deserted, I was thinking we sure picked a bad time to see if we could rite the boat. I guess I was not real worried because its not a huge lake and you cant get more than a mile from shore but I thought if we cant rite this thing it will be dark by the time we blow in to shore. Anyways I had my daughter turn the boat in to the wind as my son and I stayed on the hull with the righting line and as soon as she did that it popped right up, back sailing in less then 5 min , what a great day......Jay |
