[quote=lonbordin]I'm very conscientious and work diligently to minimize risk. I wear a type 1 PFD at all times and maintain my fitness to the level I could swim ashore from any point in the lake. So the inconvenience\headache and cost of potential damage to the boat are my concerns when it comes to self-righting. This was one of the reasons I chose my current boat (Buccaneer 18) as it is one of the larger mono-hulls that can be solo self-righted and sailed after a capsize. That's quite a story Wolfman glad to hear it worked out alright. I always carry spare parts and a leatherman (as well as a host of other items) because... well because... I've been sailing since 1976 and I know what can go wrong will. But I don't have any stories that remotely come close to yours...<!-- editby --><em>edited by: lonbordin, Jun 09, 2010 - 11:48 PM</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
