On a day of fickle breezes, we had an opportunity to demonstrate the self-righting ability of the Universal Hull. Without an ounce of ballast, it springs up easily from over 90 degrees. In larger sizes, with engine, water tanks and fuel tanks in the deep V of the hull, the Universal Hull will recover from angles comparable with ballasted sailboats. Even though the breeze was light, you can also see a little of the explosive acceleration when the boat heels and the chine touches the water.
