Hi, Does anyone have any ideas on how to prevent turtleing? (Apart from not capsizing at all) The floatation in the mast of my 5.2 will give me approximately 5 minutes until the boat turtles. When sailing alone it's quite difficult to upright and when it turtles it's near impossible. I've seen roll aid devices for kayaking that might be attached to the mast but was wondering if there is any specific product that is made for sailing. Blaine
