	Capsize and Capsize Recovery
		In strong winds, after a capsize, by the time the two crew members are on the centreboard and ready to right the boat, it often happens that the hull has blown downwind of the mast.
		He was crewing, and as we capsized he came in of the wire so he was sitting on the rail, unhooked, and pivoted around backwards, flinging his legs out aft of the crew position.
		WRT capsizing, a neat trick is to have a line attached under the deck, athwartships to the centerboard, and lead aft to a clam cleat or shock cord take up by the transom.

		The argument can be made that we were overpowered because we did tipover but the capsize happened at the end of a number of incorrect decisions in the space of 2-3 minutes.
		The capsize came about entirely because of a chain of escalating errors and could have been avoided at a number of points.

		The advantage of using the guided discovery approach in teaching capsize recoveries is that it emphasizes metaskills as well as technique—both are required to effect a successful capsize recovery.
		I regularly watch students struggle with the idealized form of a capsize recovery, trying to work through the steps of a particular technique, backtracking when a step is missed or getting stuck on a particular step and repeating the same motions over and over again until they are exhausted.
		I often begin introductory capsize recovery classes by asking the students to stand up in their kayaks and try to get back into their boats, if and when they capsize.

		Jim Taylor is a naval architect with strong credentials, so we're surprised that a boat from his CAD system would suffer such problems, but there are always a number of factors at play when things go awry, not all of them instantly clear.

		I started soloing his Hobie 17 and a few years ago I was humbled with capsizing, and though the buoyant mast stopped the turtling, I could not get it up without the help of a passing boat.
		So I’ve began experimenting with the idea of placing pontoons so that they do not touch water until the heel angle is about 30 degrees when the Hobie wing starts to drag in the water and only then provide reserve stability.
		Then move your weight toward the front of the hulls to bring the bows into the wind, hike out with the bag and as the boat rights, bend down and hold onto the dolfin striker near the hull you were standing on to keep the boat from over flopping.
