ABSTRACT:
A watercraft, especially a sailboat having at least one hull and one mast. A righting aid is provided that is in the form of a pole-like righting element that has two ends, a first one of which is detachably connected to the watercraft in such a way that, essentially on a line at right angles to the plane of buoyancy, and essentially at the level of the center of gravity of the watercraft, the righting element is pivotable along at least one axis of freedom. The other end of the righting element is pivotable essentially orthogonally relative to the longitudinal axis of the watercraft for righting the latter when it has capsized.
