Mary,

I am afraid that I am not an expert in the subject, in fact I have just been researching tri's because they look like fun (but then there is that COST issue). However, if I understood correctly, the probability of succesfully unbolting the ama and getting the boat to right iteself, as opposed to breaking itself (and you) apart, in the kind of weather and seas that one needs to capsize a tri is really quite low. The one thing that people did discuss was to flood the leward ama, lowering the boat and then it might right itself. But this only works with a capsize, not a turtle.
