Capsize of a Ducky15, that to do?

At rolling on a catamaran in fresh weather, it is always possible to turn overkeel. On a plastic catamaran his renewal, by forces of crew, can become problematic or even impossible, taking into account his considerable weight and structural feature: absence of centerboard. With the inflatable catamarans of Ducky situation quite another. Small weight and presence of centerboard does simple the process of renewal of catamaran on an even keel. For example, a crew can recover any catamaran of family of Ducky for a few minutes.
Here example of renewal of the inverted catamaran of Ducky 15. One man fully can manage with it. Before the beginning of renewal will make sure, whatever sheet mainsail costs in a stop and embittered(it is very important!). For revolution it is possible to utillize halyard mainsail, skipping him through a float. Otkrenivaya, stick to after halyard mainsail, utillizing centerboard, as a lever. Restoring a catamaran, heave up after halyard mainsail, utillizing centerboard, as a lever. In first moment of renewal not hurry and not do flounces, pulling at after halyard mainsail wait a few seconds and you will see how catamaran slowly, but confidently will begin to become on an even keel. When a catamaran will be inverted, you, probably, appear under him. At this juncture a light catamaran can again invert wind or quite to take from you, your task to retain him. you hold him after rope of sling lower and endeavour to retain him a nose to wind.
