Just recently put my wings back on. Never really thought about what it would be like to flip it with the wings on it. Done it before without the wings on. Would you nail one of the wings when you came off? Anyone have experience? Let me know thanks! Harder to right the boat with added weight?

I usually end up in the sail or mast. Don't think I have come close to nailing wing. I have not righted one without but would think the weight would be negligible.

I have held on to the wings for dear life when pitchpoling over. I have never hit one.

Only done it once - with 4 people on the boat - but the wings weren't a problem.

I have not hit them yet after 3 flips.
