Here's something I just sent to another Bravo owner:
Well, I went out today, the wind picked up while I was a couple miles out, I caught a gust, and went over !!!
I quickly went around to the bottom, climbed onto the lower hull and reached over for the righting line. I leaned way back, and although the sail had some water on it, it was uncleated, and after a minute, it was back up again !!!
There were fairly heavy seas, maybe that helped boost me onto the lower hull. However, there was water on the sail, but the mast tip was not sinking...
BTW - I was reading back, and I sail without the "bob". I depend on getting around to the bottom, and getting that righting line to work...
Also - you can grab the righting line on the bottom hull, to help you get onto the hull... don't grab in the middle, with the bungee...
