This is a new thread to expand upon the question by thouse about "Mast Flotation."

Some cats, like the Seawind 24, the Stilettos, the MacGregor 36, are not exactly "cruising multihulls" and not exactly beach cats, but share characteristics of both. They have trampoline decks, spartan "living" accommodations and are trailerable. A beach-cat can be righted by one or two people using sheer people weight. If a true cruising multihull capsizes, it is probably going to turtle, and it is going to take some major outside assistance to right it. But cats like the ones I mentioned are still in a range where turtling can be prevented with proper masthead flotation, and the boats can theoretically be righted by mechanical means without outside assistance. And if they turtle, with or without masthead flotation, it is interesting to consider possible ways to get the boat back on its side so it can be righted.

So my questions about boats in this category are:
1. What is the best way to prevent the boat from turtling if it capsizes?
2. If it capsizes but does not turtle (thanks to #1), what are ways to right it without outside assistance?
3. If it turtles, how can it be brought back to its side so it can be righted?

If anybody has references about work that has already been done or practical experiences that people have had with any of these questions, please share.
