I had a mare of a time at the weekend. I capsized to windward on a long downwind leg. After a San Francisco roll I was back on the boat with it beam-on to the wind and the sail right out to leeward. The trouble started when I wanted to get underway again. I pulled the main in a bit, started accellerating, started the bear-away & then promptly capsized to windward again. I repeated this a couple of times before giving up.
Winds were a F5; cunningham, kicker & outhaul were all pretty much off.
Does anyone have any advice on how I could have transitioned from my beam-on position to being on a run more effectively?
Thanks
