Unable to right a HC 14 alone |

Hi friends,
I have intentionally capsized my HC 14 few times and I am able to right it with my crew (my father), however I have never been able to right it alone. I weight 68 Kg, mast is two pieces one and it has the float device on its top. I have done my tests with almost no wind and I pointed the mast into the (very low) wind that was blowing.
I wonder if it's my technique which lacks or if it's not easy to right a HC 14 in the mentioned conditions.
Thanks in advance

the windier it is, the easier it is!
Dont fall over when there is no wind!

1. Make sure mainsheet and traveller are ALL THE WAY OUT
2. Try wind between mast and bows - works better for me
3. Drink beer until you make 80kg - then it's EASY
(proved by 14 capsizes in S.Shields Nationals ....) |
