:: Are you sailing at DIYC in Tampa? Best plan is to keep
:: it upright! Make sure the tanks don't leak, and when you
:: right the boat it is best to only have one person on the
:: daggerboard so that you are not sinking the boat
:: further. We had a clinic in St. Pete on the 4th!

:: :: We are fairly new to this boat, sailed out in 20 kts
:: :: wind with 2+ ft waves today. At one point, the GPS was
:: :: logging tops 12kts when we were blown over on our side.

:: :: Boat was filled like a tub and waves going over, bailing
:: :: water was pointless. I had to jump in hold to the stern
:: :: and tiller. My 13 year old was staying in holding the
:: :: Jib, slowly pulling us to shore.

:: :: I was surprised about how filled the boat was,
:: :: practically unrecoverable in those conditions.

:: :: Comments?

:: :: Thanks.
