- Sur le Goat Island Skiff "Faute de Frappe", Edouard nous montre qu'affaler la grand-voile permet de gagner le petit plus de stabilité qui permet de remonter à bord sans rechavirer.

Same here at a standard Goat: no chance to get inside from the side. It capsized each time when climbing in. My solution: Step on the daggerboard and climb in as long as she is rightened. Unfortunately there is a lot of water inside that makes the boat very tippy. So lowering the sail while bailing would help.
My own method is to free the halyard before righting the boat: the sail stays in the water and the boat is much more stable once righted, without the sail weighing and flapping above.

This is the down side of more side buoyancy from the enclosed mid seat than the standard plan.
Also so little wind makes recovery more difficult. The wind coming from the same side as the sailor in the water makes a lot of difference as it helps keep the boat upright.
Basically with boat design there are two main options
1/ End buoyancy, the boat has more water inside after a capsize to bail out
2/ Side buoyancy - the boat floats higher.
a/ Makes the centreboard harder to reach
b/ Less water in the boat means lots of freeboard.
This GIS is a hybrid ... with added centre buoyance under the mid seat, which is not the standard design.
It looks like a rope loop kept at the back of the boat would enable getting back aboard over the transom. Simple rope loop, but it is important to trial it so the length is correct for the particular user.
The learning from this is that EVERY boat should be capsized in different conditions so the sailor knows what to expect and what is needed in advance.
This is the value of this great video.
Totally right. We found that lowering the sail is enough to restore the bit of lacking stability to allow the sailor to climb back in over the side. It's easier there (lower) than over the high transom.
A rope is already a solution but a small ladder is more practical than a rope:
It seems that the rope "slips" under the boat making its use more complicated (feedback from several users).
Rope can work fine if the length is worked out carfully with testing.
A ladder gives several options .. some higher and some lower.
One of our club sailors only has one leg and she finds it hard to get back aboard. So she spent an hour with the boat tied to a buoy to find the rope loop that is the right length. Very simple light and compact and always ready.
