Can a capsized sailboat right itself?
A capsized sailboat can right itself if the following conditions are met:
- The center of gravity of the boat is below the center of buoyancy.
- The boat is not too heavy.
- The wind is not too strong.
- The water is not too deep.
- The boat is not too damaged.
If all of these conditions are met, the boat will roll over and right itself. The process can be helped by using a sea anchor or by towing the boat from the stern.
