Hi,
I have a light cord (3 mm spectre so no stretch) from front to rear, tied to the sidestay – this is great to grab the boat before it gets away.
If you put feet on the cord, it helps reach the centreboard, plus gives you lots more leverage to bring the boat upright.
I wouldn’t sail on the bay without it. – Weighs nent to nothing, but halves capsize recovery time & is great for confidence to know the boat won’t get away.
No, I am not female but I am well past 21.
Hope this helps
Randal
