Can it be righted if is does become capsized?

This is good question. If it is virtually impossible to turn upside down because of the volume and buoyancy of the floats then it must surely be equally difficult to get it back the right way up. Fortunately there is a solution. All you have to do is to remove one of the floats. This can be done by hand. So first make sure that you put a line through the eye nuts so that you do not lose them when your remove them. Release the main and jib sheets and then once the float is removed you can stand on the wide gunwale on the side of the boat from which you have removed the float and hang your weight off the centreboard and wait until she comes up. It is also possible to use a motor launch to right the boat by towing.
