[quote=john_nohj]Sailnagin, I find people like you who spend their spare time reading through forum posts just to reply with unhelpful a**hole coments very sad.
eragon, I sail and F18 solo because i can and i enjoy it. If i had the money id buy an F16 or an A-Class but until then im very happy with what i am sailing!
I can right the boat from a normal capsize fairly easily as long as there is a bit of wind, its all about the technique right! But as i sail solo in the sea the idea of the boat going turtle is something that concerns me as there is not always help around. This would be a problem in any size cat.
This is why i have been thinking about ways around the problem, is that really so stupid sailnagin?
As for the suggestion of using the trapeze wires instead i think thats a excellent idea, i dont know why i didnt think of that!!!
I think i am a good underwater swimmer and if i was turtled off the coast with no other choice then yes i would be able to swim down to the mast, but i agree actually all the lines floating around would be dangerous.
The idea was id haul the mast up from a floating position but im still not sure if i would be able to pull the weight of the mast and boat back out of the water though, which was the question a had.[/quote]
