I did that once lol, just pushed off the shore and was sheeting in trying to get myself settled in when a big header came by and just blew me over, all the sunbathers on the shore were laughing at me. :oops:

At least you were on the water. My boat capsized while hauling it out of the water on beach wheels.

had my h16 for about a yearand a half and saw no hobies on lake norman besides me. and finally one day one appeared. it was a father and son. so i rigged up the cat all excited to see if i could challenge them to a little pick up race. wind would be about 15-20....good amount just me no trap(idk y?). so i whip it out of my cove all excited with them in my sites. feel the hull rise a good amount and whipped the line to heel down a little.....only problem i had the traveler line in my hand and capsized in a heartbeat.....to add to the embaresment i had no righting line on the boat cause i ordered a new one. so the father and son sailed over to help. they helped me right it as i went back to me cove in defeat......it sucked :(
