ABSTRACT:
A marine craft maintained floating in a capsized condition by flotation components which permit angular displacement substantially about a rotational axis established intermediate the bow and stern. Venting of air entrapped within the craft forwardly of the rotational axis initiates angular displacement of the hull until the craft assumes a stabilized position intermediate the capsized and upright positions. Continued angular displacement of the craft toward the upright position is induced by upward pivotal displacement of a counterweight suspended by a boom pivotally connected to the craft to establish the rotational axis.
