How to Sail - Capsize a 2 person sailboat

Everyone capsizes, in fact some folk say that if you don't then you aren't trying hard enough! Whilst I don't fully subscribe to that point of view it is vital that you know how to deal with a capsize. When I teach the capsize seems to be a session of apprehension, but once people realise that it isn't as hard as it first seems this is resolved. The trick is good communication between helm and crew, keep in direct contact with the boat and then apply gentle but EVEN pressure to the boat as you pull her up. If you pull hard there is a chance you wont be able to sustain the pressure so you relax and the boat falls back in. Gentle and even pressure will bring the boat up.
