has anyone had a capsize and the otter turning turtle real quick ?
this happened to me recently and the centre board which was raised going downwind
dropped into the slot ,could not pull up. the mast was stuck in mud so not the best situation!!
I was at my local sailing club,Durleigh so we pulled it over with the safety boat but if i was on my
own big problem.
I asked the question on the CVRDA site (which is very good ) about bouyancy for the mast,does
anyone know what size flotation would keep my mast on the surface,its an alloy bermudan rig .
i have looked at some of the floatation bags for sale, 9 litre or 40 litre seem most common sizes
for masts, does anyone use these ? i want to sort this problem if possible.
many thanks,
Dave.
