ABSTRACT:
A righting system for a multi-hulled sailing vessel with a floatable mast has mast support cables, including aft mast support cables, extending from the top portion of the mast to vessel anchor points aft of the mast, and extendable and contractible vessel-anchored tackle systems to connect to them. The righting system includes righting lines which are extendable from each aft mast support cable forwardly to anchors on the hull sides of the vessel substantially forwardly of the connection of the aft stay cable to its vessel anchor points, and a load bearing compression pole which is swivelly connectable to the vessel at the mast and to the one of the aft mast support cables which is out of the water when the vessel is in a side-capsized position in which the tip of the mast is floating in the water.
