When I bought my boat, it had an under tramp righting line, but I found that whenever I tried to right it (uni) the bows would point away from the wind and I wasn't able to bring it back up without assistance. So I got a new line that I attached to the dolphin striker, then I slung it over the upper hull and stood closer to the bow. I found that I still couldn't right the boat. So today I picked up a 5 gallon righting bucket (40 lbs,) maybe it was just my lack of practice, but I still can't right the boat!

I weigh about 155lbs including harness and vest. I figured with the extra 40 lbs (probably more like 30 because I don't think the bucket was all the way full,) I should have been able to bring it up, but no joy.

What do other uni sailors do? As I understand it, I can't race in any events until I get this figured out.
