Has anyone ever made a self righting Club 500 boat?

I think it could be done with a flood chamber, but most clubs insist on the boat being unmodified for competition use.

Looks like you're on your own there John!

I could do with mine being self-righting as I've been flipped over a couple a times in racing. Mixed classes so I could modify it. I think it would be difficult to do though given the shape of the Club 500, once inverted it is very stable unlike the more rounded self-righting models.

Hi guys, Chris’s I must agree with you the deck and canopy would make it impossible to self right.
