G'Day Doug' Look forward to reading your R&R articles - particularly methods for reducing water in the cockpit. Hadn't realised there would be so much variation in technique. Re beginners possible dislike of putting their head under water - I remember being told that you could push your self under the boat, put your head in the cockpit and take a breath before completing the reentry and roll. These days I can't think of any good reason for doing this, in fact I wonder if it might not be hazardous in rough water. But at the time it was so intriguing that any concerns were forgotten. Maybe it was just a teaching ploy!
