I recently came back to the class after 27 years. I managed to turtle my boat going through start finish line and it took a lot of time and outside assistance to get it upright. By the time I got the daggerboard back in and got on top of the boat, it just would not come up. Later when I got ashore, I noted that the entire upper mast section had flooded and the weight of this really created the problem of working against my weight in trying to right the boat. I don't remember having problems with spars filling up with water in my old laser. My new one is a brand new Vanguard boat.
Is this a common problem or was I just too slow getting the boat back upright. I was in the water for about 30 minutes.
