  • Let’s now look at what you need to do step by step to recover from a capsize.

  • When you first go into the water, check that you are not caught up on any loose ropes and

  • make sure that the mainsheet is fully slack, which will mean that the mainsail flaps when

  • the boat is pulled upright. Next swim to the rear of the boat, this will ensure that you

  • do not get trapped under the hull should it invert.

  • And while youre there check the rudder hasn’t fallen off, if it has, refit it.

  • If you feel the boat rolling on top of you, you need to swim clear and let the boat settle.

  • If however you do get trapped under the boat then you need to take a deep breath and bob

  • out from underneath the upturned hull.

  • In this example the boat has fully inverted. To make it easier you need to swim to the

  • centreboard in preparation to right the boat. To increase leverage try to get out of the

  • water by climbing on the lip of the upturned hull and grab hold of the centreboard. If

  • the centreboard has slid back inside the boat, simply grab it and fully extend it like this.

  • This provides greater leverage to right the boat. But be careful not to damage the trailing

  • edge of the centreboard as this is a thin edge and is delicate and very easily damaged.

  • Now you just need to lean back, there’s no need to strain here as a gentle and sustained

  • pressure will suffice and is the key to an effective capsize procedure.

  • Slowly the boat will adopt the flat capsize position, which, when reached you need to

  • apply all your weight to the top of the centreboard and push down. Surface tension of the sail

  • on the water may need you to apply a quick pump to break the seal, which when happens

  • the boat will right quickly.

  • Once the boat is upright you can then clamber aboard.

  • Do not climb in under the boom as it is likely that the extra weight of you under the boom

  • will pull the boat over once more so you should swim to the opposite side of the boom and

  • climb in from there. To help you, grab the toe straps for extra leverage. Once aboard

  • be careful to keep your head clear of the flapping sail and boom. Sort out all the ropes

  • and make sure nothing is tangled and open any drainage points and start sailing.

  • As you get more proficient and more experienced it is possible to right the boat without actually

  • getting wet this is called a dry capsize and here’s how. As the boat flips over, if you

  • are quick, you can end up sitting on the uppermost side of the boat, you can then quickly step

  • over the boat and stand on the centreboard. Using your weight lean on the centreboard

  • to pull the boat back upright. As the boat rights itself step back over the side back

  • into the cockpit and keep yourself dry. As before you can then sort out all the ropes

  • and making sure nothing is tangled, open any drainage points and start sailing.

  • During the capsize process you may have become stuck in the middle of the no go zone and

  • be unable to sail away. This is called being stuck in irons. If this happens simply push

  • the boom well out to one side and steer the boat backwards away from the no go zone. See

  • our First Sail video for more details on this.

Let’s now look at what you need to do step by step to recover from a capsize.
