If you are trying to swim the bows around into the wind you are just wearing yourself out. By the time you get up on the hulls again to try and right it you are already off wind again. The correct way is to walk forward on the lower hull and let the wind blow you around. As you bury the bow with your weight the wind will push the aft end around until the bow is into the wind like a wind vane. Then move back to the middle to lean out and right the boat. Technique is everything here. When you are confident you can right the boat you will be able to confidently sail close to the full capability of the boat. A lot more fun and exciting.
