[quote=kgatesman]I capsized today on the Prindle 18, sailing solo. I could not get the bow to sink enough to get boat to rotate so the mast would be 45 degrees of windward. With the mast pointing leeward, I was stuck. The sailing center sent out the rescue boat and with a second man on the hull, everything worked like it should.
I did not try to stand on the bow with my water bag, maybe that would have helped, but without being able to turn the mast windward, I was going nowhere.
I weigh about 215, wind was blowing about 15 mph, maybe a tad more.
Any tips on what I could have done, or am I simply not heavy enough to make this work by myself?
Thanks guys!<!-- editby --><em>edited by: kgatesman, May 12, 2009 - 05:07 PM</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
