I did it once with my Anglo boat and had no issues though she come upright with a lot of water in so wallows about and is a bit unstable. I don¡¯t use righting lines but I carry a short length of rope: about 2metres or so, tied at one end to the aft toe step bracket with a loop in the free end. The idea is that in a capsize it falls over the side of the boat and gives something to hang on to once the boat is upright. The loop provides a ¡°step¡± to help climbing aboard. That¡¯s the theory but it¡¯s yet to be put to the test!
Regards?

Hi Peter
I always sail on my own and found righting of my Anglo marine boat was fine, she came up easy with me pulling on the centreplate. I have the steel plate conversion which may have helped a little, and I've seen boats with righting lines rigged to help but found I didn't need them. She sat pretty deep in the water so getting back in was easy enough too.
I was also pleasantly surprised how quickly the self bailers got her dry again !
regards
Pete

Hi all,
?
Just interested in how single handed Wanderer sailors have managed with capsize recovery on their own in a Wanderer?
?
Is it doable? Any specific tricks or advice? ¨C I am going to do a test capsize on my own shortly because I will be sailing a bit on my own and want to be prepared.
?
Mine is a Hartly boats 2009.

(Not that I am suggesting that this happens much to you experienced sailors of course !!!)

Many thanks,
