Replying to:Capsizing newbie tassie
hey there! I recently completed a "restoration" and refit of a beautiful timber 125 I found for sale here in Tas. $750 with dreams of flying around and maybe some sail camping to nearby islands. the last two days have been the first two in the water and the wind has been far too strong I admit but through trial and error I'm usually able to pick up most things and guidance is invaluable! I capsized the boat yesterday and after scrambling on the hull the mast sunk real low in the water and fortunately the boat did not turn completely upside down. I was waiting to be blown ashore as the wind was easy 20 knots when a couple blokes in a motorboat asked if i wanted a tow back to the ramp. we eventually got. the boat upright and I started bailing... but I have to ask, how do 125 crew usually do this on their own? kind regards!
