Re: [bolger] Re: Rogue waves

The other thing I've found necessary following a capsize is to get the sail
off the boat before trying to right it. (Loosen halyard(s), bundle sail(s)
to boom/mast, take a turn or three with the sheet to keep it controlled, and
only then climb on the daggerboard/centerboard/keel to right the boat.)
