A couple of questions:
Why did it take so long for the boat to right itself? Did they have to loosen the sheets because of the wind? And if they did, would having all that water in the sail keep the boat from righting itself?
And in the report it states that they had to move the keel over. Does that mean these boats are designed with a keel that can swing (on its' y-axis) from port to starboard and vice versa?
