Southwester for Water Tribe event?

Builder's Forum

Hello,

 

I am looking for an expedition boat for a Water Tribe event and would like to look at a Southwester.  Can anyone comment on righting the boat?  Will it turtle? If anyone has one near Massachusetts, I would love to take a look.

 

Thanks

   The Southwester is a great choice.The Southwestern is a sturdy, well-designed boat. In the event of capsizing, it is possible to right it.
The righting process depends on the size of the boat, your experience and the weather conditions.

   Thanks Richard. Any southwester owners out there thinking of making room for the next project?
