I'm considering buying a T2 for some fun with my wife and kids.

Does anyone have any experience righting one once its been on its side? Is it manageable for a man and woman? I guess anyone with experience of a Getaway will have a relevant comparison.

Thanks, any help appreciated.

I've only dumped my Getaway once. My wife and I righted it easily. I'm positive I can right it alone. I weigh about 200#.

I weigh 165 lbs and if there's enough wind to capsize, I can right the t2 solo with the bob on the mast. Piece of cake with 2 people.
