I built my first boat, a Bolger Junebug, about 4 years ago and I swore I'd never build another boat, mostly due to the time required. But I want a larger boat to hold my wife and 3 kids along with our camping gear and provisions. I haven't found any stock boats I like. I like the light weight of the CS 20 and the very shallow draft. I also like the forward sections of the boat, I don't want my next boat to have the completely flat bottom of my Junebug.
I'm mildly concerned about the possibility of capsizing and then not being able to get the boat sailing again. I'm accustomed to sailing unballasted boats and don't think a capsize is likely but I would like to take the boat into San Francisco Bay with my family. If I knew I would require outside assistance in case of a capsize I would be nervous about taking the boat into anything other than small lakes. I did a search of this forum to see if anyone has ever capsized a CS 20 and got back underway unassisted. I found that Graham did this intentionally with the CS 17 but couldn't find anything regarding the CS 20. I only weigh 150 pounds, is it feasible for me to get the boat back on its' feet?
