As mentioned many times before, you can use a sea anchor (drag chute) off the bow to keep the boat heading into the wind. If there is enough wind you can use the sail to basically "water start" like a windsurfer rig.

I heard a rumor in this respect that the Auzzies had started to water start from a capsize. I sort of understood the principles but could never achieve any sucess trying to right my Cat by sail out of a capsize, maybe because I didn't deploy a sea anchor? If that's what it takes to water start I'll stick to the righting line.
